My new business idea!

I'm going to work on my photography skills. I love taking pictures of the kids and some of them are pretty good! Here's an example. It's just something I like to do and a few people have told me they are pretty good. Anyway, here it is.

We've made a decision!

We decided on names for the baby. For those of you who say they will change, THEY WILL NOT!!! (Valery)
Ok, so here they are.








Are you ready?








Are you sure?












Do you really want to know?











Oh, never mind!












Just Kidding!!


We will be finding out at the end of July if this baby is a boy or girl. If it is a boy his name will be



Samuel Malachi

and if its a girl her name will be

Claire Elizabeth


So, what do you think? Answer: You love both names. No seriously, let me know what you think. WARNING: Your opinion will not change the names!!

We actually gave the boys the choice of the boy name (we gave them 2 to choose from) and they picked Samuel. Elizabeth was my great-great grandmothers middle name. Claire and Malachi just because I like them.
