Middle Name for Grantster

We first want to give a big Thank You to everyone!! Jenny and I feel so blessed to have so many people who love and support us and already love our new addition! We got tons of responses through email, our blog, text message, and phone. When we say our prayers, we're always sure to mention how grateful we are for the wonderful people that surround us in our lives. So, thanks to everyone! We love you. If you haven't got a chance to see Grant, here's some pics for you and we hope that everyone will have the chance to see what we call "the cutest little guy in town".
We've had many ask us what his middle name was going to be and we've been asking ourselves the same question for months now. But they wouldn't let us leave the hospital today without writing it down for the birth certificate. So, after much deliberation and a near stalemate (and a pact that I could decide the middle name of the next boy), We've come to the decision that his name will be
Grant Edward Barlow. He was given the middle name Edward in honor of Edward Bunker, a righteous ancestor of Jenny. He led a handcart company to the Salt Lake Valley, and was the founder of Bunkerville, Nevada.

"Edward Bunker was a man of small stature, very energetic, and industrious,always patient and cheerful. He was a man who read a good deal, was well posted in Scripture, good sound substantial reasoner." -Elida C. Haycock
Here's the newer pictures of Grant

he is SO beautiful! I can't wait to meet him. I've been sick the last day so I don't want to visit yet, but we'll be there as soon as we can. Congrats again! I love his name.

A great solid name! Congratulations! I am so happy for you. He sure is handsome! Isn't it amazing that 0-3 months doesn't really mean it? Ella is drowning in all of her clothes. Imagine if our clothes were sized the same way. :)
