Yay! ^ _ ^ I'm so excited about his arrival!! He is *so* cute! XD

I know… ^ _ ^ xD

Is there a special meaning or purpose behind his name? :)

Hi!

Hi Hannah! Is all your snow melted now? ;)

Is the quiz working for y'all?

Yes. :'( I was out in it so much I got sunburned! xD
Did you get any?

Is there a special meaning or purpose behind his name? :)

I don't know for sure. Our parents always keep the name secret until the day of the birth, and I haven't asked them.

Okay. x)

Hannah: it's all melted, yep. xP

I have to get off…see y'all :)

Is there a special meaning or purpose behind his name? :)

I don't know for sure. Our parents always keep the name secret until the day of the birth, and I haven't asked them.

That's neat! For William, we voted (from two different choices) on his name if he were a girl. Mommy and Daddy ended up voting for the same name, but the other name had more votes, so I've never known which name they would have chosen if he had been a girl :).
