the mlg story

so i have gotten lots of questions about "mlg". yes, we all have the same initials - matthew lynn, michelle lee, madelyn lane, and mason lynn (its a family middle name).

when matt and i got married we realized that we had the same initials. matt really wanted for us to continue this with our kids names. i was pretty hesitant at first because i think that there is a lot to be said for using initials to label things. obviously i gave in to matt's preference and we began on journey of naming our children with "m" names.

the girl names were pretty easy to come up with but the list of boy names was much, much shorter. and with our last name being such a mouthful it was difficult to pick middle names starting with "l" when most of our first name choices also had multiple syllables.

of course narrowing down the letters only encouraged people to try and guess, but we keep it a secret. i wouldn't even tell a grocery cashier what madelyn's name was going to be while we were on vacation in south carolina. and this time around the grandparents kept trying to trick madelyn into telling them. like we would tell her... we even told them that she didn't know. oh well.

so there you have it - the mlg story.

there just haven't been many pictures to post because i haven't been taking pictures. matt's parents are visiting and we haven't really done anything, just hanging out. plus madelyn has been in school for the past two days and daddy has been at work. i am going to try and take some pictures tomorrow though for your viewing enjoyment, but don't hold me to it. love.
