With Miles and Owen- we just knew. Their names fit. We didn't really have any complications with them! Sweet little girl though...and we can't think of anything really that we are just crazy about! I know it will come...but a good friend told me of someone she knew who actually was allowed to bring their baby home from the hospital without a name! I can't imagine! I'm a lover of all things monogrammed- especially on little girls, and especially little bloomer diaper covers!
So I'm certain she will have a name...soon.
I've even tried to pass the task off to Miles, hoping that whatever he says will stick...but apparently Miles has learned Arabic somewhere in his daily living of life...and speaks in it when I ask him questions throughout the day. (at the end of saying the blessing...you know that sweet little one "God our Father, God our Father, once again, once again"...well at the end, instead of saying "A-men" {long a}, he says "allah-men, allah-men". I had never thought anything of it until my dad said something after the blessing and snickering at our Father's day dinner!)
Speaking of Father's day--- how did you celebrate?? I wish, oh I wish, I had been better about taking pics that day! Oh wait...it was our end of VBS program, Miles had an ultimate throwdown at church because he wasn't getting to go to VBS that day, Jared's stepmom went to hospital because of a stroke (she's doing much better and is home now, thankfully)...hmmm...and I don't exactly know where my camera is right now. But we still managed to have a good meal that evening- a man's meal-- wings, chips, beans...and we got to celebrate with my dad and Jared's stepdad- so it really did end up being a good day! For gifts, each dad (including Jared) got a tape measure (cause what dad doesn't like a tape measure??) that had a tag on it: "You really measure up!" I thought it was cute!!! Jared also got an apple TV- anyone else out there have one of those??? He hasn't shown me everything it can do yet- so I'm still waiting to be impressed! HA! We had a lovely date night Saturday night- complete with BBQ and ice cream!! What could be better??
And we get to have another one this weekend!! Our anniversary is Saturday- 6 blissful years! We are celebrating on Friday night- headed to the B&B we went to on our wedding night! I can't wait to just spend some "us" time together! Life has slowed down this week from the craziness of soccer tryouts (I won't get started on that...and parents who think their kids are allstars...remind me of this when my kids are playing...no really) but we are in desperate need of some time away from the house- even if it is just a little ways down the road!

| This is the best pic that has both of us smiling in it that I have saved on the computer! |
living at home- under mom and dad's rules, cheering at football games, dreaming about what is to come over the next few years, then graduate from high school, go to college (in my case- move off, go to school with NO ONE you know) live with complete strangers who will become some of your dearest friends in life- no matter what, fall in love (in my case- with a blast from the past), make life-altering decisions (because let's face it- to get married or not to get married is a life-altering decision no matter who you are! of course mine was a no-brainer!), graduate from college, get married, move away from mom and dad ("leave and cleave"- which I feel like we did really well!), become completely dependent on your polar opposite (paula abdul comes to mind), get a real job- that actually gets a paycheck and deposits money into a retirement account ("i thought I was only 22??"), buy our first house, decide that it's time for a baby (whaaaat??), move back home (literally for us- moved in with my parents for a year while waiting for our house in AL to sell), start a competitive soccer club (who knew?), buy our second home, decide it's time for a second baby, live life...oops-- we're pregnant again?! (Yes, Jared's boss told him he needed a hobby).
I mean...I'm seriously hoping that the next ten years aren't filled with that much change! Don't get me wrong--- there's nothing I would change! It all lead to this point in life! And I love it! But...I'm ready for some rhythm.

Anyone with me??
**sorry for lack of pics on this one-- like I mentioned-- don't exactly know where the camera is--and I'm not too tech-savvy just yet on my Iphone. I know it's easy-- just not there yet!

I feel your pain on the baby naming! We didn't have a name for Easton Paul until I was starting my third trimester, and I'm a planner so it drove me crazy. It just took a really long time to decide something!
