Passports and a Name

Our passports have arrived! If we ever get our paperwork finished and get an invitation to travel, we can. Whoopee! Yep.

On a happier note...we have FINALLY agreed on a name for our beautiful son. If you are reading this and do not already know, the children's real names are not used on Reece's Rainbow. Our son has a given name, but we have decided not to use it. There are a few reasons...one being that they probably don't use it at the baby house anyway. From what I am reading on others' blogs, the caregivers use nicknames for the kiddos...so we chose a special name for the son of our hearts. Our son will be named Tanner Lee. My middle name is Lee and my step father's first name is also Lee, so we thought it would be neat to use it. Tanner was chosen after I chose about a dozen names I liked and the hubs and I agreed on one that we both liked. Boy, I never realized how difficult it would be to name a child!

  9. I never knew that about the children’s names, though I’m sure a friends little girls real name was posted on RR. Thought they did change her name.
    I think Tanner really suits him and the addition of Lee sounds perfect.

    bless you
