Gucci taste on a Goodwill budget

Chad and I have a new nephew! Zachary James Maples was born on Wednesday the 15th. His parents are Todd (Chad’s brother) and Julie Maples. He is Chloe’s little brother! He is adorable, of course. Here is a picture of the little sweetie:

This brings me to my next topic of conversation: Baby Names. I work for pediatricians, and every day I shake my head in amazement at some of the names that people come up with. Due to confidentiality, I can’t actually tell you any of them, but suffice to say they sound more like a conglomeration of random syllables than an actual name. My heart breaks for these kids who have to go to Kindergarten and probably won’t be able to spell their own name until they are in high school. Chloe and Zachary are such cute and normal names! And the cutest niece and nephew in the whole world, of course!

Besides all that, my job is going very well. Thanks for your prayers. It is still pretty hectic, but I think that’s just going to be par for the course. I will try to do better about posting.
