The Stork is Coming!



( Newspaper clip)

The STORK IS COMING

Vancouver B.C.- We are very happy
to announce that we are   having  a  baby
boy by Summer 2013. We feel so blessed
because so far everything about  our baby
shows that he is very healthy. The  de los
Santos and Casuyon families are  thrilled 
and our parents are giddy to welcome the  
first  grandchild on both sides

Sweet is experiencing the typical pregnancy
tantrums including crying over a Singapo-
rean food she wasn’t able to eat. Alvin, on 
the other hand, became an instant genie by 
granting most of his wife’s request on food, 
massage,and even purchasing a queen bed. 
How fantastic are the perks of being
pregnant, right?  

We would like to  request  for  your 
prayers for Sweet’s smooth delivery
and for the overall health of our baby.
We know he will grow up as a  kind
person and we will nurture him  with 
overflowing love and affection.

Kal-el is a gift from God! We are truly
grateful that He has given  us a chance 
to become parents. This is going to be
an exciting journey for us!


He can be the next president. dreamer, 
great inventor,  outstanding entrepreneur,
family man, saint or whatever he would 
like to be. We just believe that God has 
great plans for our child.


"KAL-EL XAVIER"
    NAME ORIGIN 

“Kal-el”-   we do  know  my  husband 
is a   hardcore   fan   of   Superman  so 
it is obvious that Kal-el originated from 
the Kryptonian birth name of Clark Kent.
But we also found out that it resembles a
Hebrew word קל-אל which could 
be interpreted as “ Voice of God”

“Xavier” - (pronounced as “ex-avier”)
we wanted a name from the bible or from 
a Saint and it was    narrowed    down to  
St. Francis Xavier who   is noteworthy 
for his missionary work. 

Four more months and planet earth will 
welcome our baby boy- Kal-el Xavier!


 Happy and blessed,

 Alvin& Sweet
