Wyatt and I were watching football when we picked Peyton’s name. Can you guess?? We had fought for months over names…he said, in the midst of the football game…”Peyton” and we didn’t go any further. Wyatt’s middle name, Brandon, just fit with Peyton. Besides, I wouldn’t let Wyatt name Peyton, Wyatt, so Brandon was as close as he got!

You keep that tree up, Girl …………..my living room looks empty w/o ours, and I wish that I we would’ve left it out for another month or so.

I love the pics. around the house, thank you for sharing……….I sure do miss y’all………as for the boys’ names………
James Edmund Craig V was an obvious pick, but we chose to call him “Jay” because of the MANY Jims in both of our families.

Dean Joseph is a combination of my little brother’s name and my Grandpa’s name.
A lot of folks have accused us of naming them this way so that when we call them we’re saying, “James, Dean”! We actually didn’t plan that—————–Jay was going to be “Jasmine” if he was a girl, and Dean was going to be “Regina” (my grandma’s name) OR “Ella” (my Mom’s name) I’m not sure they’d appreciate me sharing that, though.

Have a blessed week, Curly Q, I’m praying for you, and would appreciate the same (I’m going through some horrible sleep apnea mess)……………..
Love ya,
Lynn

Well I really wish I could tell you my day went well, but it would either a straight out lie or stretching the fake it til you make it line way out of shape. The hospice nurse wrote on Mema’s form that caregiver appeared to be very overwhelmed. I really wish I could get one or two restful, relaxing nights of sleep. A regular aide that was physically able to bathe her would also be nice. As for children’s names…… Justin was supposed to be a girl, Tammy Michelle (ha ha) according to old fashioned ultrasound and heartbeat yada yada. Picked his name from either being Dustin or Justin the week before he was born just in case, and took the male version of Michelle for his middle name. It has a good meaning behind it but my brain can’t pull his up. Jonathan David was another J name meaning friend of God and probably mmore that my brain can’t pull up. Gregory Marshall was because all our friends had used up the rest of the J names at the time and we took Charles middle name and added a meaningful middle name to it. Then you came along and it took years for my brain to correlate that in my family tree every female with the middle name Lee that had girls named them with the same middle name. You were the closest I ever got to having a daughter and God’s unigue sense of humor had your middle name to be just that. I hope your day was much better than mine. I enjoy seeing my sweet lil angels pics. Did you get your card?
Better get myself to bed. I’ve been up since 3 this morning, and I’m sort of exhausted. Talk to you soon, hopefully. Love you all!!!

I love the pictures of the girls and their treasures.I am sure glad we are having nice weather,not to rub it on.We have a Chihuahua now ,she is five months old,Uncle Phillip had to have another dog,she can really relate about going outside when it is cold or raining. I really wouldn’t like to have to get that close to the ground when I go potty either.LOL

Hey chic,
I wonder where they got the “collecting” from? I seem to recall that you had quite a collection of unicorns and stuffed animals too.
I had a hard time with naming Brendon. I was all alone in although mom and aunt Jean wanted so badly to do it..lol. Leuf, his middle name is of two reasons. First of course being my love for Leif Garrett, second being that I wanted to honor my dad’s parents. I would have loved Griffin. My grandma’s maiden name was Griffin and my grandpa’s middle name was Griffin, but his “father” already had a son with that name, so, LE is for my grandma Leila and the if is for Griffin for both of them. Brendon is for one of my favorite movies (The Crow), actors (Brandon Lee, poem (The Raven) and author (Poe). Together his name means “Raven Beloved” or as I like to call him, my beloved raven….this is what I did for 8 months…..It started to be Steven Perry for Aeorsmith..he’s still mad that I didn’t..oh well.

Hey…George & I are reading your blog before he heads off to bed…he really seemed to enjoy seeing the girls doing their homeschooling — it looked like fun to read upside down…hmmm…perhaps he will try it at school tomorrow? Nahhh…he’ll get in trouble for putting his feet up on the furnture…but maybe when he gets home…cuz we let Sandie sit on the furniture, sleep on the furniture, and rub her butt into the furniture…so his little feet should be no problem!!! ) G’Night….

Evin Marcell Brooks…

For months during my pregnancy I couldn’t get Darion to help me come up with a name…His name (Darion Marcell Brooks) was given to his first son (in Nicaragua)…good thing, I didn’t want my son being referred to as “Junior” or”Jr.”…

…finally with about 3 months to spare, Darion picked up the baby names book, flipped it open, it went right to the E’s and he said Evan…together we decided to spell it with an “i” because we want to be different…and Marcell is Darion’s middle name.

That’s how Evin got his name.
