Fun Friday Family Fun Facts

• I love alliteration!!
• Origins of names:

      Jason Scott - it was the [early] 70's and everyone was being named Jason!  His mom liked it and Dad did not; obviously mama won!
      Nora Talbot - my great grandmother and mom are named Nora; Talbot is my mom's maiden name
      Haley Higgins - great grandmother Nora's maiden name was Haley; Higgins is Jason's mom's maiden name
      Grace Talbot - Grace...I just liked it; ended up fitting her just perfectly as she struggled the most during the girls' hospital stay (Jason wanted Gracie!); Talbot, see above!
      Samuel Scott - Samuel is my grandfather's name (Sambo) and see above for Scott

• Jason was a star athlete in high school playing football, basketball and baseball.  He even played baseball in college
• I was the LCP Class of 1995 Co-Valedictorian (and no longer embarrassed by that!)
• All of our children were born on Fridays
• I have flat feet
• We go through a gallon and a half of milk and 3-4 rolls of toilet paper each week
• Sam weighs about 8 pounds more than the girls and uses his larger size to his advantage as he tackles them with more frequency than his sisters or his parents would like
• Speaking of Jason and the early 70's, he is 4 years older than me (which means he'll be 37 on his next b'day!)
• We met at the Bank of America building in Midtown Atlanta as we worked together at Ernst & Young (10 years ago in November!)
• I thought the girls were going to be boys before the official sonogram revealed their true gender
• We knew Sam was a boy at a 13 week ultrasound (wink, wink); however, it was a level 2 ultrasound at the maternal/fetal specialist's office!
• Sam loves peanut butter and has a half of a pb sandwich (Haley cut which means no crust) each morning 
• It rained and poured on our wedding day until an hour before the outdoor, beach front ceremony!
• Gracie has to be in the middle for everything...in car seats, at the table, on the sofa (she is technically the middle child)
• Haley likes Daisy Duck and Gracie likes Minnie Mouse; Haley likes dresses and Gracie prefers shorts/jeans.
• Sam knows the first verse of Amazing Grace and Come Thou Fount (which he calls come the fountain)
