Guess the Name Contest

I know some of you have been waiting eagerly for this, so I thought I would use a little bit of my lunch break today to get this contest up and running. For those of you who don't know, Natalie and I found out on Wednesday that the little Ward baby growing inside of her right now is a BOY. We are so excited...and the best part is that the doctor said everything looked GREAT! The baby is developing just as he should.

Since we know it is a boy now, we want to host a little contest here on our blog to see who can guess the name of our baby boy. Below we have listed 12 names...one of them is the name we have chosen, and we want to know which name you think that is. Leave a comment to submit your guess. NOTE: Many of the names we have listed are ones we strongly considered...a few of them we did not consider for even a second. Have fun and good luck!

The first name will be Jonathan (that is my first name...my Great Grandpa, Grandpa, and Dad are all named John, so we will keep the pattern going). His name will be...

Jonathan _____________ Ward 

We will call him by his middle name.

POSSIBLE NAMES TO CHOOSE FROM:

1. Oliver
2. Cadence
3. Rudy
4. Greyson
5. Griffin
6. Dawson
7. Wesley
8. Owen
9. Elias
10. Liam
11. Peyton or Payton
12. Judiah

It's About Time...

For all of you who get tired during the day and need to take a nap at work or school (I won't mention any names), these are for you. All you have to do is take the stickers and put them on your eyelids and no one will ever know you're sleeping. Genius!


Dad's Birthday



Sunday we celebrated my dad's birthday. He turned 52. We are so thankful for the years of life we have enjoyed with him and are so grateful for the work that God has done and continues to do in his life!
