What's in a Name?

In all the frenzy I never posted how we chose Michael's name. First of all I can remember that the weekend we found out we were pregnant we went to Barnes and Noble to sip on Starbucks and browse through baby name books. It was so much fun, dreaming about if we would have a boy or a girl. It was decided before we were pregnant that if we had a son his name would be Michael Dean. Michael is for Derin's father and Dean is for Derin's grandfather. What better way to honor someone you love? As a teacher it is difficult to find names that don't remind you of students that were, well lets say a challange. Anyway, I know Michael will make his grandfather and great grandfather proud as they watch him grow up from heaven. I hope he has Mike's kind heart and that he has Dean's ambition. I do know one thing, he has my dimple when he smiles!
