Her Name

We have had so many questions about our sweet Cilla's name. I thought I would share a little more about where it came from.

Many of you know that Flint's precious mom passed away back in November. Her name was Priscilla. We thought the name Cilla was a little more modern and would set her apart from the other Priscillas in our family. That is why we went with Cilla.

We chose Grace because...well...we just really liked it. I have always loved the name Grace. We were actually going to use another name and we had a change of plans at the last minute.

Due to frustration and some circumstances we went to the hospital without a "girl" name picked out. We, of course, had a boy name picked out, but not a girl name. We actually talked about it on the way to the hospital to be induced and I just could not deal with it. So, after we decided to have the c-section, I told Flint to make the decision if it were a girl. I told him he could name her.

The converstaion went a little something like this:

R: You just decide. Name her whatever you want to. I truely do not care.

You know the names we have discussed over the last several months and you know how I feel about each one.

F: I can name her anything?

R: I said YES! Within reason!

And the rest is history. That is how CILLA GRACE came to be!

I thought I would share some of Flint's childhood pictures with his mom. Isn't she beautiful!?!? I hope our little Cilla is as beautiful on the inside and outside as her "Grammie". She has a lot to live up to!
