Naming Names

Last night I was running all over the house looking for a stack of photos I had printed last year that I never put into an album or on the wall (I SWEAR it's gotta be around here somewhere! It's driving me NUTS). During my search, I came across the weekly calendar/planner I kept while I was a substitute teacher. I used it to scratch out a lot of random notes and lists, and Iris put a fair share of her own scribbling in it, too.
Flipping through the pages, I came across my list of names I had come up with when I was pregnant with Asher. It was from fairly early on in the pregnancy because there are girl names and boy names (followed a few pages later by a slightly more organized list of only boy names).
