New Names

Oh yeah, I want to let everyone know Ana and Jose's new names:

Ana Maria will pretty much keep her name. We will probably change the spelling of her first name to "Anna" after my middle name (Ann). We plan to call her "Annie." We thought long and hard about Ana's name and what to change it to, finally, we decided that we think her name is wonderful just as it is. It just seems to fit her.

Jose Alexander will be named Gideon Alexander. Gideon is a name we have liked for a while now and I really like the biblical story that goes along with it.

We really love both kids' names. We love the idea of keeping their Guatemalan middle names while giving them a little bit "us" if you will.
