The 'PH'

I'm often asked about my children, being pregnant, having three kids 5 and under, and what I was thinking when I named them Phyre, Phoenix, and Phantom. 

I can't take the credit of their names because Jimmy Kwong came up with them. We talked about it one morning just shooting the breeze and the 'what if' of having children. I wanted something unique. I loved the Phoenix -the mythical bird born from the ashes. And he said Fire and Phoenix. I said okay but not Fire but Phyre. It was a done deal. Then when I was pregnant with Phoenix, I thought, "what if we have twins, what will the third child's name be". We wanted to keep with the PH since we started with it for the first two and again, Jimmy said Phantom. I said okay. We love our children's names and how easily their names flow together. Their personalities and love for each other as well as the squabbles equally match them and the flow.

Here are our three babies the day they were born... Stay tuned - next I'll be writing about the other topics mentioned in the beginning!

This is my precious baby girl Phyre. Words will never express the feeling you have when you meet your first child for the first time.

This is Phoenix. Phoenix is always remembered by how aware he was when he came out. He was wide eyed and quiet. My beautiful boy.

This is Phantom, my big boy. He was so big and there was something about him that was so different from the other two. He's the sweetest boy.
