[Opinions] Re: OT: Donham
in reply to a message by Seda*
Wow, your children's names are unique! I don't remember what your opinion of Élan was, but since it is a word meaning enthusiastic vigor and liveliness; distinctive style or flair, you must love it.
I actually went to summer camp YEARS ago with a girl named Treasure. I also had Marin Ruth as a possible girl name before DH vetoed the idea.
So, what's it like to have five children? I have one and I'm tired. Are you planning to have more? I think I'd like to have three more. I've heard that it's easiest when you keep the number of children you have even. I guess you need one more to fit that theory.
I teach sophomore English, and I live in Louisiana."Talk" to you later,
Gretchen
P.S. I like your sig picture.

I'm not sure I replied to Élan, but I do like it. Marin sounds like a nice mix to keep Ciarda (another great board member) and I happy. Ciarda loves Ruth and I love Marin. :)I'm going to never know personally about that statistic. I don't plan to have anymore unless God plans otherwise. I guess I won't protest then, but Treasure and Harmony weren't even planned so...
We adopted Keren and Essie and I thought that would be all. I always wanted three children, not three biogolical and two not..hehe. I guess I should have specified myself when praying all those years ago..hehe. Five children always keeps it interesting, but at least their close in age. I see families with children of all ages and panic. One in college and one in a carseat! Imagine! Where you highly affected by Katrina and Rita?Ah, an English teacher! I loved English in school. You would have been my favourite..hehe. :)-Seda*
