Bennett Jon

Travis and I had many discussions on baby's name. Once we found out it was a boy the discussions intensified and we started to narrow the list down. We shared the potential names with family and heard all of the opinions and none of the names were a fit. Then one day as I was driving, the name Bennett came to me. I told Travis, he loved it, it sounded great with Jon (which we knew would be the middle name after Travis and two of our grandfathers). So Bennett Jon finally had his name!
