Baby boy's name

So we have decided on a name for our baby boy... actually I should say we have decided to tell our name for baby boy. We have known it since before we found out it was a boy, but have kept it to ourselves for a while. so drum roll please....
Carson Martin Kolbe
We just like the name Carson, and Martin is after my grandpa that just passed away August 24th. I knew I had wanted to use some part of my grandpa's name as the middle name, but couldn't decide on which one. His name was Hilary Martin Gebhart. I had thrown around the idea of using his last name but gave my husband the choice of which name he wanted to use, and Martin is what he chose. I love it :) My grandparents were a huge part of my life growing up and Aryssa is named after my Grandma Clarissa (Hilary's wife, who passed away almost 8 years ago) and I knew I wanted to honor them. Although I was not able to tell my grandpa this before he passed away I know he is looking down hand in hand with my grandma smiling away.
I have a picture that has been on my fridge for 2-3 months now from when aryssa was a little baby at Easter and we took a 4 generation picture. Grandpa, Mom, Me, Aryssa. Aryssa loves to carry that picture around and says Papa (which I usually say yup Great Papa), Meme (my mom) it is so cute, hopefully she will remember something about him this way.
Well that is all for now, just wanted to post little man's name :)
