Introducing...

Jonathan Sergeant Davis

"Sarge"


This is all I can really post right now. We aren't going to post his birth name or where he's from until we get clearance. But here's his picture and the name we've chosen for him. We are going to call him John Sergeant or "Sarge". Jonathan is a family name from both sides...Greg's middle name is John and my maternal grandfather's name was John. Jonathan means "God has given" which we felt was very appropriate. Now here's the interesting part...Greg and I both had the idea of naming him Sergeant on the same day...how random is that? Actually, I thought about Sergeant and Greg came up with Sarge. When he asked me what I thought of nicknaming him "Sarge", I couldn't believe it. I just started laughing and said, "I was thinking Sergeant just this morning, but I thought you wouldn't like it!" I will say that Sergeant is kinda similar to his birth name and we wanted to keep a part of his birth name.


So there he is...go ahead and comment away on how cute he is! :)

  7. Tesney, I am so excited for you!!! I believe this is one of the most precious things I have heard. Isn't it crazy thinking back around 15 years ago or so and remembering just living in the moment without a clue. We had no idea what God had planned for our lives.

  12. I remember a few years ago you telling me that you thought you might adopt a special needs child one day.... How exciting that it is really happening!!! I really enjoyed reading how you guys came to this decision. It is amazing the things that God calls us to do when we listen and how he changes our lives and hearts as we take the leap of faith and follow. I look forward to hearing more about your journey. By the way, he is adorable!!

  13. Tara...I did figure it out...lol...I have another friend named Tara but we haven't known each other for 15 years!

    L&L...we have been told 8-12 months. We have also been told it could be sooner but we are not getting our hopes up.

    Mandy...do you still have a blog?
