he was almost a Seth

I've been unpacking and sifting thru office/paperwork again this week... some of it that never saw the light of day after our previous move. Ugh.

But there are some old random notes and cards and photos I find that make the sifting fun and sort of a treasure hunt of sorts with the fun long lost discoveries I come across.

My favorite find this morning was three ultrasound pictures of the Sawman (before we knew he was either a Sawman or a little man in general!)... PLUS a piece of paper with our name brainstorming list for him/her!!! FUN!

[yes, Ryan wrote ^ that ^ on the list]

I showed the pictures and read the list to Sawyer.
He adamantly affirmed that the best choice was indeed what we went with... but the looks on his face as I read off the names were priceless! :)

For Savannah we didn't have quite the list of names... we knew she was a girl ( we didn't technically know, but we knew. and thus had just one back-up boy name ready.) and there were a handful of front runners going into the hospital...
Kathryn/Katy, Anna, Ally and Paige.
The name Savannah wasn't even on our radar until we met her!

What were your runners up for your kids' names??
