Seven years ago, we were in the final weeks of Mandy's second pregnancy. Then finally on May 22, 2001 our son was born. For months before his birth we tried to come up with a name we could both agree upon. Now I know wars have been fought, tears have been shed and blood has been spilt over the name game. However, while we were in the hospital, a treaty was signed and the white flag was waved and the name was given - Henry Alden. The names come from the two greatest men in our lives - our fathers. However, as we were leaving the hospital, Mandy said, "I really like the name Indiana." Since I was still recovering from the wounds inflicted upon me from the name game, I once again extended the olive branch and ran up the white peace flag. The past 7 years, we have had the opportunity to watch Henry Indiana Alden Green live up to not only to his grandfather’s names, but the scholar name of Indiana Jones. Indiana has many of the traits of his movie screen hero. For one, Indy is BRILLIANT! Also, as you can see by the photo, he has the ladies swooning around him and all at the age of 7. WOW!! Look out world.
We were SOOO excited to find out the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull comes out on his birthday. Coincidence? I think NOT! Indiana you were sent here for a reason. We love you! Thank you for filling our home with humor, sensitivity and adventures. Keep chasing your dreams!! We will be cheering you on

That's pretty cool that the movie is coming out on his birthday. I can imagine your family camping out on the sidewalk 2 days before to get in on "his day"!
