Formal Announcement

Many of you have figured it out but some of you are still unsure of what to call our son.  We have decided on Cooper for his first name.  I know, I know....you were hoping for Awesome but I just couldn't do that to the little lad.  Life is hard enough as a boy.  I don't want him to feel overwhelmed with the expectation of being Awesome all the time.  If it were soley up to his Daddy, he would be named Awesome.  Bobby says Cooper will like his name until he hits highschool and finds out what he could have been and then he will be so sad that his mom didn't name him Awesome.  He will wish that the bold word Awesome dawned the back of his football jersey.  That the people at the DMV thought he was joking when he went to get his drivers license.  But then there will come a day when he needs a job.  When he sends out resumes across the country with the name Awesome on them and they all get sent immediately to the shredder.  That is the day he will realize that his mother was and almost always is right.
