Girls... Not Such a Good Idea
I met Kristy and the kids over at the Thurmonds this evening for dinner (Matt grilled some delicious hamburgers). When I arrived I asked Berkeley about the recently discovered gender of our third child:

"What do you think about having a new baby sister Berkeley?", I asked.

"I don't think that is such a good idea.", He responded in a serious tone.

Ok, then.

Home Removation Project: Vault Removal: In a Holding Pattern
We can't make any further progress on our project until we get the issue with the wood floor scratches resolved. Baxton came by today to have a close look at the floor. He is straddling the fence. On the one hand, he'd like to move forward on the project and get it complete (and get paid), but on the other hand he agrees with me that there are some issues that need to be addressed. If we decide we want the entire thing stripped down, re-sanded, and re-refinished, then we are looking at a week delay (on top of this current week's delay while we think about how we should proceed). Not good.

Boy, Girl, ... Girl
We found out the gender of our third child today. It will be a girl. I know I stated earlier that "Olivia Louise" was our preferred girl candidate name. However, after doing some research (see here), I found that Olivia is a top-20 name for newborn girls for the past 5 years!! I can't give my daughter such a common name! After all, she is going to stand out... not blend in.

I've been brainstorming a few other possibilities, just to see what tickles the tongue. We have a Berkeley Russell and an Eliana Kristine - two strong names. Why not name our third child Mary Margaret? or Adalaide Lucille? It doesn't get too much stronger than that!
