What's in THE name?

This baby has a name. And we are so excited about it.

Joseph "Hudson" Lindley

Love it? Want to marry it? Me too!!!!

I was looking for a weird unique name to offset the normal-ness of Joseph. Now, I love the name Joseph, obviously after my beloved AND my dear ole dad. But it is a very common and safe name. After endless conversations with Josie, he finally agreed (and liked) Hudson. I think it's the perfect combination of manly-ness and sweet baby boy-ness.

For example:

"And the award for best smocked sailorsuit goes to....Hudson Lindley"

(sweet baby boy)

"Up next at bat, Hudson Lindley"

(manly man-boy)

And don't get me started on calling him the middle name business. It will be fine. He will be a big boy about it, and it will be fine. I have heard both sides of this arguement, and we are planning to proceed with the name as said above. So nah!

Changing the subject off my precious baby boy.

 Celebrity crush alert.

I loved you as a youngie...

You can give me the thumbs-up anytime, Zach Morris.

And I love you now. All grown up. And very foxy looking, might I add.

You have aged very well, my friend. 

I was making a Saved By The Bell reference to my small cousins the other day...and they didn't know what that was! Really? How can this be? That should be one of those programs they show in school...along with Huck Finn or whatever.
