Meet James Payden! He was 6lbs, 5oz and was actually born second, a minute behind his sister!He has such a sweet face...love those little lips. He will go by Payden, which is a name they got from an old tv show, but I cannot remember what it is.
To add a little more to the story for you...both of my sisters-in-law were pregnant this year. Charlie's parents got three grandchildren in the space of three months. Harrison James was born in December to Craig and Christal (Charlie's other brother and wife). Can you tell we like the name "James" in this family? And "C" names? So the family now has babies, which should be interesting as we have been a group of adults for a long time.
Hopefully, Charlie and I will be able to add to the group soon. It would be nice to have them all around the same age so that they can play together at Nana and Poppy's. Charlie's parents are all set up to babysit. They have a swing, a pack-n-play and a mini-van to tote them around!
Welcome to the family, kids!
***Check out the comment page for a fun little contest inspired by emily's comment and let's see who can be most creative...
I am a woman with more questions than answers. I am constantly searching, learning, decorating, loving and muddling my way through this life. I live under His grace. I stray daily from my faith, my diet, the road, but never my husband. I could eat a whole dish of tiramisu and not feel guilty. I could knit a sweater with all the dog hair on my floor, if I swept it up, or knew how to knit. I am hanging on, holding out, and hoping for the best God has to offer.

So sweet! Welcome little ones! I know you will have fun "aunting" them. It's sweet to remember the days of the newborn twins...but not so much that I'd like to relive them thankyouverymuch. I can't wait to see how you and Charlie incorporate the "James" and the "c" into the names of your babies...
Um, let's see...
A prize to the best (or worst) "C" name to get posted!
Think 'em up and post 'em quick while I find a prize to send to the winner. Post them by Monday and I will pick a winner.
Oh, I can almost smell their little newborn heads. I have to agree with Emily, though. They're so sweet, but I DO NOT envy the new parents those sleepless nights. I have had some of my most embarrassing moments happen when I was so tired from being up with the girls all night.
I love, love, love, family traditions like the James and the "C" into everyone's names.
I could go on and on for girls: Chloe, Camille, Corinne, Coral (I love old names)
I think boys are harder, but given our recent book oriented conversations: James Cullen, Cade, Camden
Congratulations Aunt Sissy!
Babies are so much fun. I hope your sister in law has a quick recovery. Right now she needs all the rest she can get to get ready for the whirlwind of diapers and feedings that are to come.
"C" names.
Well, I've got a Craig and Caroline so those are first on my list.
Good "C" names: Catherine, Caleb, Christian, Connor, Carter, Cooper, Cassidy,
Questionable "C" names: Charmaine, Chico, Chester, Carmine, Coco, Chantrelle, Chandelle, Candi, Charlemagne, Champaign, Chablis, Charity, Chastity
That's all I've got for now.
Coco Chablis Silver and Chico James Silver have a nice ring to them!
;)
Charlotte.
I know, we're in the South and maybe that's not ok. But I just love Charlotte. I wish that was my name.
I also like Claire. Almost named one of mine that.
And I have no C boy names. The ONLY boy name we could think of that we liked was Luke. Good thing we only have one boy.
Oooh, ditto on Charlotte! That is a beautiful name.
If I had to have another, I would definitely consider it for a little girl.
They really are the cutest, but soooooo much work we have 5 from 26 and youngest is 11 so I remember so well sleepless nights, and the lonely hours breast feeding while my man is sleeping aaaargh !!!
Anyway a C name for you from this side of the pond could be best or worst.
Boys. Campbell Connor Casey (James goes fine with these gaelic/celtic names)
Girls. Caitlin Clarinda Cosima and Clarissa.
we have a Charlotte louise, Sophie,
Sarah, Reuben and Harriet, and yes my hair is starting ot go grey ..........lol
