Baby Names

A lot of people have been asking if we have names picked out for Baby A and Baby B. Our answer is yes. I decided to go ahead and share the names we decided on.

For our baby boy - Joshua James -
How we came up with his name: A cousin of mine passed away a year ago and his name was Josh. We decided to honor him and his family and name our boy after him. We called up my Aunt, Uncle and Josh's sister and asked them if they would be okay with us honoring Josh in that way. They were very excited and thought it was a great way to honor Josh. Our baby boy's middle name is after our first son Isaiah's middle name (Isaiah went to be with Jesus in Nov of '06) and also in honor of my Grandpa Jim Christensen.

For our baby girl - Saray Anne -
How we came up with her name: Shortly after Jer and I got married we started discussing names for our future children. At the time we couldn't really decide on any names that both of us liked. We ended up meeting a lady while we lived out in Idaho, her name was Saray. The moment we saw and heard the name we both liked it. So we mentioned to the lady a month or so later that we loved her name. She then processed to ask us if we were gonna do something about it. Our response was (of course) yes. She was excited that we wanted to use her name and then gave us her blessings. So for nearly 4 years now, Jer and I have waited to have a girl so we could name her Saray. Her middle name just fit. Plus part of the love of her middle name came from all the years of watching "Anne of Green Gables", so with that in mind, it had to be Ann with an "e".

So there you have it...they have names now...Joshua James and Saray Anne :)
