Carmi pointed out something today that was pretty cool.
Back when we were deciding on a name for our soon-to-be daughter, we knew we wanted to use 'Paige' as a middle name. 'Paige' is the name of Carmi's father who passed away in 1979. There were several baby name books that we looked through before settling on 'Eliana' for a first name. All the books said 'Eliana' was a Hebrew name meaning 'My God Has Answered' or some variation thereof. Earlier today, Carmi was looking through another book as we prepare to find a name for our 2nd daughter. In this one particular book, the name 'Eliana' means 'Sunny' and 'Sonny', Carmi said, is a nickname that was given to her father.
Coincedence? I don't think so...

Now we can call Eliana “Sonny Paige”! That is truly amazing!
