What's in a name

Well, some may be asking how we chose Joshua Leighton. His middle name came from Susan's maternal grandfather, Leighton Dransfield, known as good ol' Pa Pa in the family. Susan says Pa Pa was a man of God and also very funny. His first name, however, took some time to decide on. I was hesitant at first since it is the same name as my best man in our wedding, Josh Moody. We knew that Joshua was a great biblical hero, but once we discovered that Joshua stands for "The Lord is salvation" in Hebrew, we were sold. Thus he became JLZ. So, he's not named after Josh Moody, but we certainly wouldn't complain if our Joshua takes after the elder one.

At home Joshua goes by several different names ... lil JZ, our super duper pooper, and daddy's lil WIZard (pun intended). ~Kurt

Kurt, Susan & Joshua,
So far, I believe Joshua's writing is styled after his mother! Great the see some more pictures and to hear about your experiences!

Can't believe you couldn't stay up for the entire PSU/FSU game. Would you like me to send some little lion outfits? Are they allowed in Texas?
