Names

By Kerry -
I keep thinking of this blog ten or twenty years from now when Addison and Emme read it. As I was thinking about how wonderful it will be for them to have such an account of their young life, I started to reflect on the names we almost chose for them.

Addison, did you know that your middle name was always going to be Regan (after your daddy), but you were almost:

McKenna (Mommy's favorite)
Ainsley
Sydney
Eliana
Laurel
Danica

Emerson, we chose Annarose for your middle name early as well, but you weren't officially named for two days after your birth. There was a close vote between Emerson and Delaney, but we also considered:

Sheridan
McKenna
Madeleine
Alexandra
Emily
Brittain


We hope you both grow to love your beautiful, strong names. They were chosen with a lot of love and thought and hope for what you would be like as young women.

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
