Keller Leslie

I just realized I had not announced on our blog the sex of our baby...it's a BOY! & we are naming him Keller Leslie.

Lots of people have been asking us where we got the names so I will explain here. Jonathan and I both really like the musician/singer Keller Williams so I guess you could say he is his namesake. Not only is this guy a great artist and performer but his name is really cool! ;) And I love that it's Irish!! Leslie is Jonathan's middle name, along with his Dad and Great Granddad...so obviously we liked it because it's a family name but again I really liked it because it's Irish! So like I mentioned before, I hope and pray this little boy comes out red-headed and he will be my little Irishman :))) and I will sing to him the lullaby my Grandmother use to sing to me when I was little. It's called "An Irish Lullaby".

And because Jonathan and I are such big Railroad Earth fans, Keller will also have a special song of theirs. I first heard this song long before we were even married and knew then that I would use the lyrics in the decoration of the nursery and Jonathan would learn to play it on the guitar and sing our future baby to sleep :) It's called "Little Bit Of Me" and it is Keller's Lullaby.
