We have a name!

Yes, you read right. After much discussion, Jonathon and I have finally decided on a name for our baby girl. Drum roll please..........................
Claire Evelyn will make her debut December 4th, 2008.
We both really like the name Claire but every middle name we came up with sounded better as the first name and Claire as the middle. Evelyn is the name of Olivia and Claire's great-great grandmother on Jonathon's side and we wanted to honor her. She is an incredible lady. She lives in Illinois, is 96 and still drives herself to where she needs to go. She lives by herself and keeps up with her daily chores and still writes us handwritten letters for our birthdays. She really truly is an awesome lady and we couldn't think of a better way to honor her than naming our little girl after her.
So, there you have it. We are very excited to meet Little Claire (as a nickname, we will probably call her Claire Bear--how original, huh?)and can't wait to welcome her to our family.
