It's all in the name

So when you give birth to a child, the first thing you do is give it a name.Being adopted means you can change the names if you want. So because that the girls were older, we let them decide if they wanted to change theirs. Logan wanted to change her name to Jessca, not Jessica, Jessca. But I really liked the name Logan, so we changed her middle name, she was to be Logan Jessica. Keeley asked me,"If you had me, what would you have named me"? Oh, that was easy, if Erik had been a girl he would have been Shannon Michelle. I thought the name fit for a blue eyed, blond haired girl. Instead he was my blue eyed, blond haired boy. So Keeley was Shannon Michelle. Nicole had to change her name, we already had a Nicole Hanson, so she gave me a list of names she liked and asked me to pick my favorite. And Lyndsay it was, Lyndsay Nicole. Now Courtney was a little different, she wanted Whitney, after Whitney Houston. But she just didn't look like a Whitney to me. We pondered on names and I heard the name McKayla, she looked like a McKayla. The middle name was easy, it was after her angel, Dr. Paul Derderian. She would be known as McKayla Paul. You know if we were the Duggar, that TLC family with 19 kids, it would have a lot easier. Just pick your favorite letter out of the alphabet and think of name that starts with it for all your kids. I think that's kinda boring, in fact if they ever have anymore kids, I think they should be a little daring. I am gonna send my suggestions to them, Juicy for a girl or Junky for a boy. Juicy Duggar, now that has a ring to it.
So, they all were here to stay forever. Which meant I had to come up with a permanent solution for the laundry. No more only doing the socks, underwear and jeans, I had to do it all. Oh I prayed so hard for a sky light in the laundry room, just so I could see the light of day. Then we decided I could have the new large capacity front loaders, yippee. We would take the older set to the basement, add the new set up stairs and I could do double duty. Oh yeah.
