Meet the reason I have been missing from Blogland...her name is Valentina. I will be on sporadically for awhile but wanted to pop by to wish you all a beautiful bountiful blessed Christmas.
Credit: A giant thank you to all the bloggers who suggested names for our little Baby Whimsy. In the end it was the tall, strong, dark-haired Valentina, played by Alicia Coppola on the television show The Nine Lives of Chloe King, that inspired me.
She is so beautiful, Juju! Congratulations. And what a gorgeous name you gave her! And look, she is already a reader! :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Juju & Family!
