all in the name

Filling out Arie's baby book 

and it asks about his name

soooo

first most people don't know how to say it...sooo I always say

R 

END

Arend

or just call him Arie :)

a strong dutch name meaning Eagle

J found the name and it stuck with us really early on

we wanted something different but not to far off and something that was meaningful [Js dutch heritage and mine also] and something that could have a nickname

so there you have it Arend Arie

and his middle name

after my fathers dad

Grandpa Joe :) 

and speaking of my Father I hear over and over how much Arie looks like my dad

well I think my dad is a pretty handsome fella, so Arie that is a compliment

oh Arie he Loves you a ton!  

Thankful for that! :)
