Stuff about the name...

Lots of friends have been asking about Ainsley's name. When we found out AJ was a girl at her 20 week ultrasound, we got a BIG baby name book and started just going through names - I'd read ones I thought had potential and Kristin gave them yeas or nays. But one of the first that we liked a lot was Ainsley.

A few weeks later we were just flipping channels and found the West Wing in syndicated reruns somewhere, and it was one of our favorite episodes. Here's the recap from Television Without Pity, but the gist of the story is that a young, pretty spitfire named Ainsley Hayes kicked Sam (Rob Lowe) up one side and down the other in a debate on national TV - while Josh & Toby hollered for popcorn to eat while they watched. When our little miss came screaming, red-headed and pretty aware of her surroundings, we just thought it fit even better. Joy is Momma's middle name and Suzanne is Grandma M's middle name.

So, there's the story of the name. AJ and Mommy come home tomorrow - and then we're really in for it, huh?
