Cool Name!

I go by my middle name, too (Elizabeth Hope). — It’s what all the cool kids are doing nowadays! :) It’s an easy way to tell if somebody knows you or not over the phone or on mail! It was only confusing on the first day of school – every year.

Canaan seems to be understanding the concept more as time goes on. He has a brand new cousin which has helped a lot. He loves to play with Noah, his cousin, so we are pretty excited to see him interact with Emmaus.

What an awesome name. My bro in law goes by his middle name as well. How is Canaan doing with the idea of a new baby? Is he understanding it at all?

What can I say but Awsome choice, and his first name is ok too! Kidding aside, I am very honored and love the connection to the greatest story ever told, by the greatest person to ever walk the earth!

So two things we have in common. 1.) Using the middle name as the first name and 2.) Joe’s first name is Charles. Love it! Congratulations again you guys. Can’t wait to meet your new bundle of joy!

I love you guys!!! It’s so fun being different. About the middle name….I have a funny story for you. My Grandpa and his brother both went by their middle names. Why? Because they were twins, and had the same first name. =)
One question. How do you pronounce Emmaus?

A very nice name and very unique which I love. We know a lot of men who go by their middle names. Their reasons are because their first name matches their Fathers name. Praying for You the end of the pregnancy is always the hardest! At least I think so.

OH! I LOVE IT! I have also seen Emmaus spelt Ammaus as well but excellent choice indeed.
Do worry about him going by his middle name. Look what we did with our girls. We used ALora because I really wanted it as a first name! haha
Can’t wait until photos are posted of your little man.
