On a Firstname Basis

So we have gotten the question quite often lately, what we call our daughter… and then also how to pronounce it.

While it had never really crossed our minds that we would be asked this, it’s kind of fun to spell it out and set the record straight from the beginning. 🙂

Our daughter’s name is Evangeline. Yes, that’s what we call her. Nope, she doesn’t have a nickname. (Just like the rest of the family!) And as for pronunciation, it goes like this:

eh-VAN-juh-leen

And it’s awfully beautiful, don’t ya think? 🙂

My Valentine Sweets

The most delicious sweets that I’ve ever had. 🙂

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
