A special thank you to my neighbor Elizabeth for the wonderful recipe. The family loved it! (Except for Olivia who sat at the table for over 30 minutes before taking five bites) I switched a few things for us, but if anyone wants the recipe, let me know.
NOW: Thad and I have no clue about baby names. We haven't really discussed it, because he and I don't do well in this field. Whenever I say a name, he makes fun of it--boy or girl. So I am asking you all to offer up some names you like.
Here is my criteria:
1. We prefer simple or classic names. Growing up as Bonnie and Thad has caused us to not want anything unique. Thad is especially a stickler on this. He was referred to as Tad, Chad, Matt, or Todd.
2. We prefer to stick with a name where if you name it that name, he/she will be called that. Example: we purposely didn't name our second child Katharine.........BUT obviously we have a hundred nicknames per kid.
3. Think of the "f's" in our last name. I have had a few people suggest Sophie or Sophia. Now, put Sophie Stafford together. Sounds a little "effy" don't you think?
Thank you so much in advance for your help, ideas, and perspectives. I am certain the perfect name awaits us.....

I only have boy names since I have had to come up with 3 girl names already (and I don't even KNOW what this one's name is going to be!!).
William (of course!), Christian, Jackson and James. My faves for today.
Once I name my daughter maybe I will share the names we don't choose with you, but for now it's confidential :-))
some classic and a few unique ones!
