Naming a Blog

I have thought about making a blog now for a year or so. I have always thought, "Well, who wants to know about my day and how many loads of laundry I did?" But I came to the conclusion that even if that is all I post about, at least I will have some kind of record of our life, because I am not good at keeping a journal or scrapbook or anything.

So I have come here to blogger many times to start a blog. But one of the first things it asks for is a name. That is like a real decision, one that can't really be changed that easily. I would quickly become discouraged after nothing seemed right.

Just recently I thought of the name of this blog, "The Eldredge Seven." I know....real creative, huh? (Well, at least it is better than "Sempiternal Septenary," which was Richard's idea.) I thought it could be like "The Magnificent Seven" (I'm pretty sure that's an old tv show, although I never watched it). Seven is also a lucky number (duh). And Richard is the seventh child in his family of ten. It is now also the total number of people in our family.

"But wait!" you are thinking. "There are only 6 people in that picture." That's right. You read it here first, folks! We are having another baby! WOOHOO! We just started telling people today. I am 10 weeks along and due on Jan. 13, 2011. The kids are so excited and so are we!

So now I have to start working on another name, one much more important than a blog name. Hopefully the name for this kid won't take a year to decide.

THANKS FOR READING OUR BLOG! Come back soon!
