hello.

I sleep, eat, drink baby names these days!

I know i've styill got far to go but since i found it was a girl i've been obsessing over what to call her when she arrives.

I previously mentioned my shortlist of names, we still have them both in the running;

Shaelan Sofia

And now we need a middle name to go with Olivia,

Olivia is quite an old fashioned name so i want to spice it up with something exciting and different; We would like it to fit in nicely with our other daughter's name though.

Callie's whole name is Callista Loren

It's quite classy I like to think but we haven't come up wioth something similar in style to this.

We do have Olivia Anousha

-Anousha means beautiful morning or beautiful morning star.

But i am not confident about the double "ah" sound, because both names end in this sound.

As i said before I would like and help you could give me on this matter,

I really am going crazy about it, i even asked the lady at the checkout in the supermarket what she thought would go nicely with olivia as it was her name also!

Im really resenting all of you that can still wear flip-flops. We are trading in our sandals for boots. The long winter has decided to come early and cover us with its presence.  Well I guess thats what we get for living in Alaska!

Happened last Sunday. I've never seen anything like it. There were over 45,000 people there! There were 5 different catagories of runners(which I wasn't aware of) the first to lead the race were people in wheelchairs (I didn't know that either). I met some really awesome people. This one women I met has two young daughters, which were with her, they were wearing pink angel wings made from feathers. The women told me that her mom and sister died from cancer so she was making it her goal to raise as much money as she could so if her girls get it there might be a cure. She said she just came from Chicogo where she did a 60 mile walk. Not only did all the people congrigate for the cause they took it up a notch and ran for it too! I was amazed.

Im almost 8 months! I can't wait to meet this little man. I hope everyone is doing well. I can't comment on your posts yet because the WM wont let me comment on anyones posts.

Granny- Congrats on the new baby!! I love the name!

Lori- I miss our chats..i hope all is well with you dear :)

Kx5 ;) - Im in the process of sending you another email dear

Nicki- I hope you are well!

Everyone else...HI!!

We have decided on two names for the baby...we just cant decide

1) Luca Cristiano

or

2) Cristiano Gian-Luca

Gian is an old family name in my husbands family. SO i would like to stick that in there.

Anyways, I hope everyone is well!

Love,

Tia :)

How is everyone this Saturday morning?  Our weather here in the midwest is beautiful... cooling down a bit a just wonderful for outdoor activities. 

Are all your kids back in school? Did I mention my daughter got a job teaching 5th grade? It's been so fun helping her set up her classroom and helping her with projects for school She's still at home and hopes to move out this year if this job holds up. After her being out of my house for 4 or more years for college it's nice to have her home again.

My grandson began gymboree this week He just loves it. Do any of you go to Gymboree with your little ones?

Have a great weekend
