the legend of ox



the other day i found a piece of paper with middle names
i had collected for luke
we always knew we would name him luke simply because we loved the name and thought it went well with brock but it took awhile to find the right middle names
here is a sampling of that list joe and i had randomly compiled:
grayson
vince
rocco
blake
holden
landon
george
and then there was
ox
how did that get on the list?
we love strong names but that seemed a little extreme
we both laughed and i placed the paper in luke's keepsake box
then today when it had become clear that not only will luke be a big baby
but also one that causes false and strong contractions for his mum and might possibly be overdue
joe simply stated over lunch:
"that will be the legend of ox"
and finally we had a nickname for him
we won't take it to the extreme and make people call him that
but it makes a cute story nonetheless
and very appropriate

what an adorable story you have to tell Luke when he is older. stay calm and be good to yourself as you prepare to meet him.
