Back to Blogging

     We completely dropped the ball on blogging at the end of my pregnancy and continued to stay away until our son turned 3 months old.  Anyone that has kids should know how busy things can get and the importance of giving your newborn 100% of your attention.  Now that he is 3 months old, we feel that it is time to get back to blogging.
     To catch you up, our son was born the night of November 14th at 9:11 pm.  He weighed in at 9lbs 11oz.  We named him August Mikel.  A somewhat unique name as we are constantly reminded.  We did not choose this name lightly.  As soon as we found out that our baby was a boy, I fell in love with the name Augie.  My husband liked it too.  BONUS!  The only thing that I loved more than the name Augie was my father, who was well know as Gus.  He passed away 3 years ago.  I wanted to honor him by passing on a part of his legacy to my youngest son who never got to meet him.  So August just seemed to be the perfect fit for us.  We know that the name isn't for everyone but it is perfect for us.  Mikel is my husband's middle name so we chose to pass it on as our son's middle name.  Mikel is pronounced Michael.
