Speaking of Raynard...

As many of you know, we're expecting a second baby in mid June. It'll be a second boy. We've searched high and low for cool family names for this boy. We had a perfect name for a girl, but we'll just have to store it away for another time or maybe just another pet. Anyways, we were looking through some online genealogy and found several not so good possibilities. (Gerald Jarrell is one of them)
I kept digging and digging until I found something quite funny.
Greg's great great great great grandfather shares a name with a beloved neighbor, Reynard. Spelled differently than our neighbor, but pronounced the same way, this name is an interesting on, but not one the top of our list.
For now, we've got a name in the running. We use it around the house so as to get used to it and figure out if we have settled in on the right one. When the baby is born, we'll reveal the name to you.

As for now, you can call the baby "duece" or "baby #2" or "baby Jarrell" or to be funny, "Baby Reynard" will do.
