so i've been asked about our kids names more than once & i thought to answer that question i'd interview each kid along with it.
i'm going to go in the order i asked them. a few details first .... i asked each kid the same questions, in the same order. i asked them all individually, except regan heard 1/2 of sailor's interview before her own. i tried to scribble down as quickly as i could exactly how they answered complete with 'um's' & smiles.
ben was first.
his name .... i was driving home down our road late one night before he was born listening to dobson on the radio & there was a guy on named ben. i thought it'd make the cutest boy name on earth. ben, just ben.
i had to sell rex on just ben. offering up his middle name to go with it.
we aren't super deep in the naming of our kids .... ben means son.
obviously, he fits his name perfectly : )

if there is no 'um' before his answer, he answered without skipping a beat. the 'um' answers he thought a little more on : )
