Thanks guys- I was just telling my wife we were getting congrats on here from all over the U.S. and the world. She and I think that's really neat, this forum is a great place. T.W.- My wife is 1/4 Finnish, so we decided that a finnish name would be good this time around. I found the name Senja on the web, my wife liked it, so that's what we named her. Problem is, I couldn't find what the name means, was wondering if you knew?
We are very blessed

Congrats. Can LogRite make a short cant hook in pink for her?

I've got two boys myself. Special thing. Enjoy it while it lasts, they grow up fast...but you already knew that.

A little pink Logrite cant hook would be pretty sweet! I try to remember to not get too worried about the future, and enjoy every day with these kids that God gave me that I can. Sometimes I'll get a little too wrapped up in tring to make a buck or whatever, and I'm missing out on Jen and the girls. I'll think to myself " You know, my kids are at the age where they are just FUN, where the crisises are things like scraped knees, and they think I know everything. This is probably the best point in my life so I better slow down and ENJOY IT!!"

Very nice family Barbender.

They are fun even after they are grown. Then you can spoil the grandkids (don't have any yet - but I suspect it is just a matter of time now...)
