What's in a Name?

Jami crafted these letters for the nursery wall

Many people have asked about the significance of the baby's name: Grant David Leahy. Here's the inside scoop. We like strong, one-syllable boy names. So when deciding on this baby's name, we opted for a name that would follow that same pattern and coordinate well with Luke & Reid. The name Grant actually means "great" or "tall." For middle names, all three boys have family names: Luke James (after both grandfathers), Reid Nelson (Jami's maiden name), and now Grant David (Scott's father's middle name was David and we have several other relatives with that name).
