Dear Sweet Rose,

Today we were looking at the parent.com site and searched on the name of our new son to be...Kaiden. Here is what they said about his name:

One of the contemporary names with an "en" ending. Debuted on the popularity chart in 1992, quickly climbing among the top 100.

Greatly influenced during the 11th century by Edward the Confessor, who became king of England before the Norman Conquest. He's considered a saint by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Remained a popular royal name in England. A literary name used by William Shakespeare in several plays.

NICKNAMES: Eddie Ed Ted Ned

FAMOUS Edwards

Our Memorial Day Weekend

Dear Weekender -

I just wanted to write you a short note telling you how much I enjoyed our weekend together. It is truly a dream come true to host a bunch of our friends (and their kids) at our beautiful big home over a long weekend.

I really enjoyed watching you talk with the other moms. I also enjoyed fixing the hotdogs and hamburgers for everyone. We really do a have beautiful home and I love the fact that we share it with our friends and family.

I love you and I look forward to all of our special weekends!

Your Weekend Lover!

Counting the Days

Dear Mom To Be -

I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you today and that I am counting the days till when little Kaiden comes. I know that he is getting ready and is going to come any day.

This is a picture from the second shower for our baby - the one at your work. You are so beautiful and you look so happy. I want you to know that you have made me the happiest man in the world. You are the love of my life and you are going to be the best mom this little boy could ever have hoped for.

I love you with all my heart now and forever.
