My husband is so sweet

I just had to share this silly little letter that James sent to me. We have been having discussions/arguements regarding this baby's name and he decided to try to smooth the edges with the following:

Dear parents -
I would really like a name so I hope you come up with something you both agree on.... of course, I hold a veto power vote on any naming that will occur, so kindly call out your top names, and the ones I kick you really hard on, means that you need to try again. If all else fails, you can call me Baby Z, or maybe the 'z man'. As I have high hopes to go into politics, law, business, medicine, education, or the technologies someday, I will need a powerful, yet down to earth, name. Thanks for your time and quick response. Remember, my future depends on this.... hee heee,,,,
love, 'little man'

Needless to say it put a smile on my face. I know we will get there eventually. I guess I can show you the list. It changes quite often so don't be surprised if the final choice is not on this list. Here it is:

Caleb James 'CJ'
Joshua Matthew Mason Maxwell Maximus (only one middle name ;-) )
Jonathan (thought we had eliminated this)
Ethan (new yesterday)
Andrew (this was new today)
Nicholas
Zachary
Tyler (this was new today)

Joshua Matthew is our "if we had this baby by surprise" name and keeps sticking around. Time will tell if it becomes "the one".

We went out shopping for Jake a swingset last night and went to the ultimate showroom for swings. They must have had like 35 swings set up. Jake ran joyfully from swingset to swingset. He loved climbing the slides backwards and went down some very tall and fast ones too. He flew off the end of them onto his bottom, got up and went down again. They had tire shavings on the ground which makes for a very soft fall. Looks like we will be putting out the ching on a new set very soon. As we were leaving Jacob kept saying 'leave me here'. It was so cute. I can't wait to have one at home for him.
