Our son has a name!!!!!

We have kept you all guessing long enough. So without further ado get ready to welcome the newest addition to the Kowalski Family ..... Nimrod Lonzo Kowalski. I know what your thinking - how did we come up with such a hip (Wow! I am starting to sound like Amos) and unique name? As most of you know Grant's middle name is Edward - after my father and it is also my middle name. In the many months, days, hours, and minutes we spent discussing names for our second son - we knew we wanted to stick with names that have been in our families but we also wanted biblical names. So now you are probably thinking - what happened to that plan? Well Nimrod IS in the bible and it means "warrior" (at least that is what Amos told me), and even though Lonzo is not in the bible it's really going to make someone think before they tease him about his first name. I think I read that Lonzo stands for "watch out because I can go Kimbo Slice on ya at any time". (If your not sure what that means - check him out on YouTube)
Your probably wondering what happened to our plan of "family names"? Well as Amy told you in her previous post - we attended my family (on my mom's side) reunion over the Fourth of July weekend. It really is a special time that we enjoy each year to see family we do not see often enough. This year my cousin Sandra's husband Ric presented each of the families with a very detailed history of the Warman-Ross family tree. Now I do not remember exactly where they fit into the tree(I am waiting on my own copy of the history - so I do not have it in front of me) but both Nimrod and Lonzo are part of my family. You do not even know how thrilled Amy was when she came across this in the pages of my families history.
So after much debate, and countless names that nobody else liked, we have found our winner. So please join us in welcoming Nimrod Lonzo into the world...well not yet, but according to Amy(after she consults with Mariah) it's gonna be any day now. And I thought I had until August 10th to get his and Grant's rooms ready. I guess I better get back to work.

P.S. I really do want to thank Ric for all the time and hard work he put into researching our family history, and compiling it all into a book. Thanks Ric - I really appreciate everything you did.
