Baby Names

For whatever reason we think we are having a girl. But, until this little one is born we will not know for sure. If we are having a girl her name will be Hope Elyse Summerville. The middle name is a variant of Elizabeth, and the Hebrew meaning is God's Promise. I love the combination...the hope we have in God's promise of ultimate redemption when this life fades (future hope) and God's promise of hope for today (despite circumstances). Along the way we've come to believe that our greatest joy will come while loving, serving and helping bring about restoration of hope in our city.
The boy name we've chosen...in case we are wrong in our prediction:) Josiah Amari Summerville. The Hebrew meaning of Josiah is "the Lord saves." No special meaning for the middle name but we've liked it since we were pregnant with Jayden. When I picture another little Summerville boy my heart rejoices...

3 1/2 more months and we will meet our sweet baby!
