I love your theme and the photograph of the triplets is beautiful. Christian names have always fascinated me - the fancier the better and as a child I used to make lists of names I came across in stories. It did pass my mind as a possible A-Z theme, but all my family have ordinary names and I had no images to back up the words. So you have made a grand choice and I look forward to reading more.

None of them had ever delivered triplets (or quads, quints, etc.) so one of them finally declared "the first set of triplets I deliver will be free!" I stayed in touch with him for many years after I left and to my knowledge, those free babies never arrived. Just goes to show you how rare triplets really are.Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-45730352331764887722013-04-08T16:01:06.600-04:002013-04-08T16:01:06.600-04:00In a family that large, the older ones just had to...In a family that large, the older ones just had to help out.
