Speaking of names.....

If you ever come to IHOP and check your child into a Children's Equipping Center class, be sure and take note of all the names. It's like all the Bible characters in one room! 2 or 3 Zions (believe it or not), a bunch of Samuels, Levis, Jacobs, Tirzah, Jedidiah, Elijah, Israel, Isaac, Noah, Seth, Trinity, Michael, Gabriel, Isaiah....the list goes on. Then there are the prophetic names like Truman and Zoe and the soon coming Rees Lake. I feel a bit pressured to come up with an Old Testament Hebrew meaning for Jackson and Grayson. Somehow "Uh, it sounded really cool" doesn't cut it when asked about why we chose those names. Only at IHOP!

Rees Lake. Is that going to be your new baby's name?

What are their other kids names? I always liked the name Jasper Lake but Eric thought otherwise...

And I'm sure there are a plethora of Abigails. And the more common Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. More Aidans starting to emerge, too, although that's Celtic and not Hebrew. Oh well.

Rachel is due just about any day now, Kristi. And she's as cute as ever.

Kari - her other kiddos are Isaiah and Zion Rain. Ooohhh, Jasper, now that's a cool one!

Wasn't Jasper Lake somewhere northwest of Grand Island? I think we went snipe hunting out at Jasper Lake.
