Name this baby already!

Well, August is fast approaching and I would love to name this baby before I go to the hospital. Nate & Henry were both 3 days old before we named them and I would love to spend my little "vacation" in the hospital doing something besides thinking of names.
Here's where we are so far,
Nathaniel (Nate) Bryan Duncan
Henry Bryson Duncan
If you were going to classify Nathaniel and Henry, they are both considered Timeless meaning when you hear the name you have no idea whether the person is age 1, twenty, or 100. They aren't really creative, but they are obviously boys when you hear the name. So, I am desperate for suggestions. I like John something, and call him by both names, (like John David). I also like Miles, and Luke, and I love Jasper (taken from General Hospital). So, what do you love? Help.

Book

I grabbed this book called The Shack by William Young after a friend (thanks Christie!) recommended it. I finished it last night and immediately turned back to page one to start again. Bryan said, "are you reading it again? that must be some good book." And, let me tell you, it was fantastic. Amazon.com has it for $8, it is number 10 on their bestseller list. Get it and read it!

Myrtle Beach Days






The Log Flume at Family Kingdom












Buried in the sand




Nate's favorite restaurant Margaritaville. They have a huge tornado above this blender and Nate & Henry love it! Nate loves blenders, he actually got one for his birthday last year.

Goodbye home, Hello beach



We're off to the beach tomorrow for a relaxing vacation (I hope). Just thought I'd share some pictures of the last week. Here are the boys enjoying their first taxi ride in Atlanta last weekend. They loved it because there were no car seats, although it probably would have been a good idea considering we were on I-85 in Friday afternoon traffic. I did have a successful trip to Ikea, in fact, Bryan dropped me off and he and the boys went to the Georgia Aquarium while I got to spend about 5 hours shopping. It wasn't too long, in fact, I could have stayed longer.

And here are the boys checking out their heavenly bed. It wasn't heavenly to me, I was up most of the night. Unfortunately, I have hit the "miserable" stage a little early this time considering I have 2 months to go. I am huge. Large maternity shirts are tight. It's very discouraging, especially when complete strangers tell me that I look "ready to pop" and "it must be twins." Then, when I tell them that I'm due in August, they look at me in disbelief, like- how much bigger can one get?
I will try to remember what a gift children are and this will pass. I just have a lot of work to do after the baby is here. Have a great week!

Hot

It's so hot outside. Weather.com says it's 96 degrees. It feels like 100. Nate & Henry are oblivious to the heat. I finally bribed them into coming in for fear they would dehydrate. They were sitting out in the bright sun with shovels digging. Never once complaining about the heat. Me on the other hand, I am just sitting in the shade, absolutely miserable. The good news is that we are going to Myrtle Beach next week, and the high there is only 82! It's gonna be a long, long summer.
