It has been two years, and Jose and Melaina are expecting a second child--a boy! Big sister Elena is very excited about the new addition to the family! They are looking for a Spanish first name and a middle name from a book by JRR Tolkien (Melaina has recently discovered his books and loves them).

Owen and Liz have been enjoying life with little Arthur, who is quite the little conversationalist. He talks to anyone and everyone--which is both good and bad. Now, Liz is expecting her second child, also a boy. She and Owen don't have strong preferences about his name, but would like it to go well with Arthur's.

After a difficult pregnancy and birth, Ben and Emily weren't looking to have children again anytime soon. Now, though, the girls are four, and Ben and Emily are expecting again! This time, they are having a son! They would like an uncommon first name and a nature-related middle name (even better if it is the name of a flower or plant).

Just a year after Alex's birth, Kirils and Ema are expecting a little girl! They are looking for names that are used in Eastern Europe, but that would translate well to use in the US or have a nickname easily pronounced by Americans.
