We are thrilled to announce the birth of our second born son, Samuel Henry Dearth!! Sam was born on October 30th at 6:28pm CST. He weighed 8lbs 10oz and was 21 3/4 inches long.
Both Sam and Kristin are doing really well, and we praise God for a quick delivery after Kristin was induced yesterday at 2pm. Charlie is also doing well and is interested in this new addition to our family, but he’s not too sure about him yet and is still keeping his distance right now. We were able to get Charlie to give him a little kiss today though. 🙂
Please pray for us as a family during the next three days before Derek needs to go back to Zambia for a little trip from November 4-13. More on the need for this trip in the next couple of days.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers the last few days. God has been so faithful and gracious to us, and we praise Him for this precious little baby!!
Derek and Kristin Dearth 
So happy to hear the good news! We are of course big fans of the name Samuel. I cried on the local Christian radio station a fee weeks ago when they played my call for the fish family name game.. Samuel. Our baby Samuel was named for the meaning God Heard.. And he is a constant reminder to me that God always hears our prayers, He is a with us God. I pray your little Sam will be that for you as you live each day delighting in our Lord. Congratulations!
Hurray for another baby boy! I’m so glad to read that your labor, Kristin, was so “quick”, and what a wonderful gift after the toil. We’ll be praying for you all with Derek going away. May grace and peace cover you.
Congratulations!!! He’s perfect!! I remember well those newborn photos and moments – enjoy!! Love, Gail (for all the Wilsons)
