Home Study Approved!

Well, after plenty of hard work and rearranging our entire house to make room for a baby's room, we had our home study and it was approved! Hooray! We are one third of the way there. . .

We had fun putting together the baby room. We have pale honey yellow walls (very pale), black furniture, Boston Bruins toy chest, pale yellow rug, a hockey stick on the wall and a Russian hockey team jersey brought back from Michael's parents when they visited Russia last year.

We are now going over names. Of course, Michael gets choice of girl and I get choice of the boy, lol haha, well no doubt he has great influence in the choices. I have always loved Ayden, means little fire, fiery and Liam, means unwavering protector both, Gaelic, which is a huge factor to bring our culture into the name. The middle name is Alexander. He likes Campbel, Scottish Highland Clan from 1320 led by the Dukes of Argyle and a family name for Michael. It means crooked mouth. We both have mulled over Logan, means hollow, again Gaelic in origin.

I have a feeling this will be a topic revisited for many days....

Back to copying forms.
