THE ENVELOPE?
Yes, we've opened the envelope! After Landon was born, we decided to open the infamous envelope to learn the sex of our baby! The ultrasound was correct... It's a boy! :)

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
How did we decide to name our baby Landon Ray? Landon was simply a name that both Brandon and I liked. We didn't personally know anyone else with the name. After Landon was born and the name was given, we've been asked if it is a combination of Larry & Brandon and though we had never thought of that before... Sure it is! As for Ray... both my dad and Brandon's mom share the middle name of Ray (Rae). We felt that it was not often and pretty special that a name is common to both sides of the family so we decided to honor a grandparent from both sides and go with Ray. Had "Beanie" been a girl, the middle name would have also been Rae. What would her first name have been? You'll have to wait... our next baby could be a girl! :)

THANKS IS NOT ENOUGH!
We can't begin to thank our family and friends for all that they have done for us both throughout our pregnancy and since Landon was born. The generous gifts, phone calls, e-mails and meals have been so great. We can't thank everyone enough for all of your love and support. THANK YOU!
