Behind the name Peter

Peter has been our favorite boys' name for over 5 years (we just haven't had the opportunity to use it until now). We chose his name after the Peter in the Bible. Peter is an apostle of Jesus Christ and is one of the courageous founders of the early church. In his letters, Peter talks about being Holy, living for God, and suffering for doing good.

We did not name our son after Peter Rabbit, but while we were studying the story of Peter Rabbit in preschool this year we came across some funny similarities in our families. Peter Rabbit is the youngest brother to his 3 older sisters: Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail. Our preschool craft was a family tree. Below is the picture of the example craft, and of our family tree (this was made before knowing Peter was a boy). Halloween costumes are already in the works ;)
