Baby Names!

Most of you already know...but we finally decided on names for the babies. 


These are a preview of the decals that are going in their nursery above their beds.  I just love um!

This name thing was such a struggle.  We went back and for between "S" names or no "S" names.  Then when we decided to use the "S" we couldn't figure out a girl name that we both liked.  Shew!  And to be honest with you, Corey really made it a long, drawn out process.  He picked apart every single name I picked out...for good reason though.  He said he had to think like a 1st grader and figure out every possible way to make fun of a name.  Geesh, he wore me out on this but I must share one hillarious example.  At one point I liked the name Sawyer for a girl (thanks to Mom).  I had it written down on a piece of paper with several other girl names she had suggested for us.  When he saw the paper (after ripping apart all of the other names) he said, "Sawyer, huh?  Like saw your underpants?!  I don't think so!"  Crack up.  Gotta love him!  And the middle names made the process take even longer while our precious family (Natalie) waited ever so patiently for us to deside.  But we finally did.  Their official names are Samuel Cline Konow and Sadie Caroline Konow.  Samuel came from Sam, my Grandaddy Thurmond's first name and Cline was Corey's Mom's maiden name.  Sadie just came from the internet (oops, hope she doesn't ever think she got shorted, lol!) and Caroline comes from Carol, my Granny Thurmond's name and my middle name. 

We're excited that that job is done and in love with our baby names, Sam & Sadie or as Sydney calls them..SamSadie like it's all one name.  :)
