And He Shall Be Called...

The Breakdown:

Ethan: Hebrew in origin. Means one who is firm and steadfast. Casey and I decided for sure on this name when I admitted to him that out of the 10 or so names on our final list that this was my secret favorite. And then he said it was his secret favorite too.

Joseph: Also Hebrew in origin. Means God will increase. This name is the long form of Casey's middle name and his grandfather's middle name: Joe.

We're so excited to have the name picked out. It's amazing how much more of a person he seems now that he's got a name!

I told Heather also, I'm having a joint baby shower for Ethan and Kenna at my house. Let me know when you can come to Florida! :-)
