Bun #2 Has a Name!

That's right....we've decided on a name for our newest family member! Ryan and I have started a little tradition of going to Macaroni Grill, where they have those paper tablecloths, and using the crayons to try out different names, monograms, nicknames, etc. After much deliberation and coloring fun, we finally settled on a name for Bun #2.

So here's the big reveal.....we are planning to name him Jasper Ryan. "Jasper" is a great name we thought was kind of different, but hopefully not too different :) And, of course, "Ryan" is after his sweet daddy, a great role model and perfect namesake if there ever was one.

The meaning of names has always been fascinating to me, so I like to to look into that when we're picking out names for our kids. Jasper means "treasure keeper" and is also the name of a semi-precious stone (sometimes a reddish color, sometimes a blue-brown color). The stone reference is actually used in Revelation to describe how God appears on His throne...which I thought was pretty amazing!

Ryan loves the idea of calling him "JR" and my mom likes the nickname "Jazz" or "Jas"...still deciding on spelling for that one :)

Whatever we ultimately call him, we know that this little one will be a blessing to our family. He is already our precious treasure!
