recent births

My friend Monica and her husband Louis  had a baby 2 weeks ago, a little girl named Lianna Anja ...  I really like both names! (Plus it's a nice nod to both their heritages, mother is Finnish-Russian and father is Greek-Italian... I'm kind of more traditional in naming, I think, I like names the reflect the parents personalities and family history)

Another friend (I know wayyyy too many people who have recently given birth), Samantha, and her husband Jorje had their second baby girl, Raechel (don't like the spelling but love the name; their older daughter is Kayla)
