He’s here! An update from Kalie: We absolutely loved the suggestion of Hugo, but it wasn’t a great match with our last name when we said it out loud. Calvin, Jonah, and Malcolm were three front runners, but they all were kind of like Emmett. We liked them, but they just didn’t feel like the […]

UPDATE: He’s here! Welcome Peter Wesley. Scroll down for some thoughts from Stacy. Stacy writes: When we were naming our first son, we had a lot of rules.
