Job Simon Manuel Parkinson
9:26pm, April 6th 2016
7lbs, 19 inches
We chose the name "Job" because we want our son to mirror the faith in God's sovereignty that the Biblical Job displayed throughout his suffering (and because of the Washington state history tie in to Job Carr - I spent my pre-motherhood days researching and writing about PNW and Tacoma history, so such names have been particularly attractive to me).
"Simon" was Ezra's choice for a middle name, but we don't know how he thought of it! We couldn't (well, wouldn't) legally name this baby "Frightful Simon Parkinson" as Ezra really wanted us to, but the boys call him "Frightful" (as do we, with them). We could (and did) give him the middle name Simon though! ("Frightful" is the name of a falcon in one of Ezra's favorite books and he almost immediately chose it as his brother's name when we told him about the pregnancy).
"Manuel" is the name of Seth's mother's father. (Ezra and Isaac's names were also chosen after OT Biblical figures and Washington state historical figures, with middle names of their grandfathers).
