Victorious Warrior

It occured to me that some of you might wonder how we decided on Vincent's name. We came up with "Vincent" a few years ago, actually. We were going through Italian names and we both really liked it. The fact that it means "victorious" solidified our decision.

We had a really hard time with the middle name, though. We came up with several, but for various reasons, we ruled them out. Some of the top choices were David (for my dad, but the initials VD are less than desirable), Primo or Primitivo (for Dan's grandfather, but we didn't feel really comfortable with that name), and Immanuel or Emmanuel (which means God with us; but that's a heavy name for a boy to live up to). Anyway, Dan has always liked reading about the angels in the Bible and Michael is the archangel who leads the army of heaven. His fight and victory against Satan are described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. We thought it appropriate that our boy should be named after the warrior angel. Anyway, that's the story of his name, in case you were wondering.

We are heading to Spencer, IN this weekend for the Johnson family reunion. We are really looking forward to seeing the family...it's been years since we've seen some of them! Dan is hoping to do some golfing with my uncles/cousins, and I'm looking forward to spending time with all the fam. Vince is just looking forward to eating. ;) He's still sleeping through the night, by the way. And mommy couldn't be happier about it!!

Have a great weekend!
