Welcome home Alina Maurine Jones


After spending the day being harassed by the Social Security lady to give my child a name before we leave the hospital, we finally settled on a name for baby number four. It's always a big stress for me to decided on a name.
I went to the hospital thinking that her name would be "Alina Reece" but Keith wasn't so hip on "Reece", so we looked up common middle names that go with Alina. "Alina Marie", sounded the best but Marie sounds like it should be a family name.

So we tried Alina Maurine Jones!
It works!
"Maurine" is Keith's mother's name.
Note that Keith really wanted to name her "Alina Catherine", so that we could nickname her "Allie Cat"

The siblings were so excited to hold her for the first time.

Kendall loves her sisters. Kendall looks so sweet with her fat lip.

Garrett was the most excited to have his sister come home. He can not keep his hands off her. In fact, I think he's more fond of her then the Wii and new playground set.
