Please join us in congratulating Paul and Janet and their son, Jonah, who welcomed the newest member of the Weikel household over the holiday break. Their second son, Ethan Longjie (LONG-JEE-A), was born the morning of Dec. 28th, 2012.

They  wish to offer their thanks to everyone for all of the well wishes and prayers. Paul offers this on their son’s name:

“In case you were wondering, Chinese names are typically 2 words put together poetically.  “Long” means “dragon” and “Jie” means “outstanding qualities of”.  So, if you take the meaning of his Hebrew name and put it all together he becomes a “outstanding, long-lived and wise dragon”.  I doubt he’ll ever live that down!”
