Baby Name!

So its been a week or so. I am impressed by your Hebrew skills. So many people found such creative ways to figure out that ancient text. For those of you who like their words going from left to right, I will tell you what we came up with. We decided to name are soon coming daughter, Abigail Vera Edwards.

Abigail, or Abby as we will call her, has a Biblical origin meaning Father's joy. I have not even seen her face yet , and I can attest that she is indeed a joy of her father. We also know that she will bring great joy to her Heavenly Father. So we like that first name, and we think it is cute.

Vera, her middle name, is the name of my great-grandma. I have nothing but fond memories of my great grandma. I can recall going over to her's and grandpa E.J.'s house almost every afternoon for TomThumb bars and a sandwich made of pickled cucumbers? and cheese. Yummy. I guess to sum it up, my grandma Vera is, for me, the purest picture of kindness and servanthood I can think of. What a fitting middle name for our precious Abby.

So we are ready to welcome Abigail Vera Edwards into our family.
