Here we go. Just like that we’re off. The day is here and here we go. Is it really time? Can you wait for something for so long that when it finally comes it feels like it’s happening at light speed?
No complaints, we’re ready. We’re measuring our travel liquids and packing them in the required zip top quart clear plastic bag (one per person please). We’ve got some cute baby toys (thank you Auntie Bonnie!) for our girl on our play dates. The softest pink and white bankie (no, that’s not a typo, that’s what they’re called in our family) to keep her snuggly and loved when we part. And peanut butter crackers. What are we missing?
Here is your chance to participate. And by participate I mean click on the comment button below and leave a message. We are looking for… #1) What you think her birth date is (Jan ’06 is all we know) and #2) What your favorite girl names are (first and middle please). Winner gets a great prize… to be named later. Come on, this is the part were you get to treat us like we’re expecting, get it?! Please play.
Saturday we’ll be traveling and arriving Sunday. Look for more updates then. Hope it works! Talk to you from St Petersburg Russia!
Journey safe.

Checking the purple folder before I go to bed. 11p. Sunday. Hope you have arrived & are resting –
Favorite names–Celeste, Paige, Tess, Grace, Alison–I’ll think of more.( I like Lindsey or Lily, but they won’t go with Lachut)–Come to think of it Aunt Lillian was a Lachut .
Her birthday is January 1—A New Year’s Baby!!!!
You are all in our thoughts & prayers!

I think of two dates in January… Jan 13th or Jan 29th.
As for her name, since there seems to already be enough Bonnies to go around, I like Ava, Grace, Maci, and if I think longer I’ll come up with more. Of course, all three of those names work well with ‘Bonnie’ for a middle name.
I’ll be fun to share in your travels through the blog.
Have fun, travel safe… Thinking of you..

Hi. Sorry I’m so late in responding. I’m guessing her birthday is January 27th. Names….Had I to do Kate’s name over again I would have called her Kathryn Diane and nick-named her K.D. (sounds like Katie!) I am also shamelessly promoting my name too! I love the name Olivia but would call her Livvy. I am dating mayself, but that was the mother’s name on “The Waltons”! I hope all is well, I miss you guys. The Elsner’s send a HUGE hug and a kiss!
