What's his name?

Yep - my dear husband - I love him so much.  I love that once we make a decision he works so hard to MAKE ME STICK to it.  Tells me - the choice has been made - that's it - whether its what place to eat, what to wear or what name for Sami.

Well I kept saying his name is Sami and that's easy to make Sam or Samuel here!  NOPE honey we picked Curtis and we are sticking to it.  I asked ONE Last time as I filled out all the paper work for Embassy!  So guess what?  Craig wants to call the baby Sam!  After all that HE changed his mind.  However Nate likes Curt and its grown on me - so ugh!  I want to just scream and love using this to tease him after all of this.  And i can even do it here.

So we'll see.  Regardless he'll have Samuel in his name - first or middle. Or we call him by his middle name?  It will really be his choice when he grows up anyhow.

So that said - I finally got more pictures downloaded fro the other camera disk - and found some friends sent.  So here are a few more.  Enjoy the beauty - and like I tell others - pictures just can't do it justice.

He is such a beautiful smiling boy! No matter what you call him, he is truely a gift from God (although I like the whole call him by his middle name and when he grows up he can use whatever name he wants...Sami does seem to fit him so well right now though :) )
I just can't get over that smile and how beautiful it is!

Gorgeous photos! I wouldn't worry about the name. I call Marcel by his middle name more often than his first and have nick names based off his middle name. In fact, we almost never call either of the boys by their "legal" names. Nicknames are fun no matter where they come from! Plus, I often call Marcel by his birth name (Marco Tulio) because I still love it so he is comfortable with all that. Sami will be too ;-)

Oh my goodness I want to squeeze him! He is such a happy guy, he is the best addition to this family I can think of. I wish we lived closer so the kids could grow up together.
