It's Official...

Our babies have names!!

Crew Anderson Smith
&
Coyt Austin Smith

So here are their stories. We fell in love with the name Crew shortly after Wyatt was born and said, yep if we ever have another boy Crew it is. Then one day Stacey asked me what I thought about the name Coyt, and I also like that one. We laughed and said, "Well when we have twin boys we'll have their names in the bag" - HA!! Keep in mind this is prior to even talking about trying for a third, much less actually thinking we might have twins and twin boys at that! So, when twin boys became a reality (still shocks me a little to write it :)) Stacey was all in with Crew and Coyt, but I had to him and haw over them a little more before deciding that indeed these were the official names.

Since their first names were just names we loved we wanted the middle names to have some significance and family connection. Anderson honors James and Jean Anderson my beloved grandparents, it's my Mom's maiden name, Ally Wood's middle name and Stacey's great grandmother Nannie's (who our "Nannie", Debbie is named for) last name. We loved it and it was connected to SO many people we loved too!! Austin comes from the Purdy side of the family after my Dad's Dad, Austin Purdy.

The fact that they'll have the same initials was just a coincidence.
