... Cason Scott Knight!

This is Dad here, I know ya'll haven't heard from me in a while so I thought I'd take the time to announce the GRAND NAMING!

After much debating we are 99% sure that we have agreed on his name. Just in case he gets here and doesn't look like a Cason OR a Scott, being his parents, we reserve the right to change that at BIRTH!

About 2 months ago Mom, BEING MOM, was worrying a little about the fact that we didn't have a name for him yet. We were throwing names out left and right and nothing seemed to jump out at us. One morning while driving in to work I was having my morning "think time" just thinking about names and trying to come up with something that you didn't see on the top 100 most commonly used names. We had talked the night before about some names and I think she was starting to get ME frustrated with the fact we didn't have a name for him either. We were listening to the radio and I heard a couple of names that we had thought about but they were on the "TOP 100". I have no idea where it came from, but I just looked at her and said, "what do you think about Cason". Not really expecting the reaction I got, she looked at me and said "I LOVE IT!" You could tell it was one that had the WOW factor that we were looking for when we heard it, but I don't think either of us were ready to officially name him that just yet. The more and more we talked about names we kept coming back to Cason and using that as a first name trying to come up with a middle name. When someone would ask if we had a name picked out we kept telling them we think we are gonna use Cason just don't have a middle name yet. The more we said that it became evident that was going to be his first name. NOW on to the middle name.

When Missy and I started talking about having children I used to think I wanted a Jr. and we would just call him DJ. After talking to a few friends who are Jr's they steered me away from it asking us to give the little guy his own identity. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to give up the DJ name. Besides, we have some friends who already have a DJ and he's one of a kind for sure [shouting out to ya Wayne and Rhonda]! With the middle name there were MANY MORE that we liked and it seemed like they all had the wow factor. Some of the girls that Missy works with asked "what's Donald's middle name", when she told them Scott, I think they gave our Son his middle name at that time. A buddy of mine at work, Stanley (who is one of the Jr's that warned me about having a Jr.) also suggested using that name.

Missy started testing the full name out by going into his room and saying "CASON SCOTT you need to clean your room up now!" The first time I heard her do that we looked at each other and realized we have named our Son. SO, there you have it! Cason Scott Knight should be here no later than January 5th, 2010.

I want to take this time and thank everyone in our lives who have blessed us with shower gifts, but most of all for the thoughts and prayers that we know you all are sending our way. I think everyone knows how truly lucky and blessed we are to be given the gift of a child, and it means the world to both Missy and I that you all are so wonderful and thoughtful. I am having a hard time expressing in words just how much I appreciate everyone in our lives!

Bye for now! I think Mom will be updating everyone on last weeks events as soon as she can!
