I love this picture. Adam came home to eat lunch with us, and it was cracking me up that Harrison wearing a helmet is just totally normal to us these days. Because Adam wears a helmet when he bikes, Harrison thinks it is the coolest to wear one around the house. So he does. And now I don't even think about it. And then it occurred to me while we were eating lunch, "what in the world...my son is wearing a helmet while we eat and it seems as normal as Adam wearing a tie."
On another note, I need some serious feedback. I am soliciting it, so please say what you feel. So, I can't decide about Fisher's name. We are definitely going to name him Fisher, and we want to use the name Adam in his name. After a lot of feedback (which I'm appreciative for, in this instance), people say it is a pain in the rear to go by your middle name. To me, "Adam Fisher Brantley" sounds a heck of a lot better than "Fisher Adam Brantley." It sounds like "Farmer Joe" to me. I'm stuck on what sounds good vs what is best for the child. I will admit that I am probably leaning towards Fisher Adam as I realize that no one ever says a kid's full name except at birth, graduations, and a wedding. On the other hand, I also think Adam Fisher is a name that is more easily passed down to one of his kids. Ugh...all of these things to think about.

I think his name is beautiful either way... I do think Adam Fisher is "easier" to say but great either way!!! We have loads of family that use their middle name and nobody ever knows it's not their first!! Did you know that Keith's name is Donald Keith Spires III ??? :) Most people have NO IDEA his first name isn't Keith :)
My hubby and sis-in-law both go by their middle names and its really not that big of a deal except for "older" legal issues. He just signs his whole name in that instant. He has never said...I wish my mom used my first name as what she wanted me to be called.
Adam Fisher is easier to say but I am with you...it's only used together when they are in trouble or at important events.
Loves!!!

I was also thinking.... Adam isn't a horrible or embarrassing name, so does it really matter if people call him by that every once in a while before he has a chance to correct them? :) It doesn't even have a weird or funny ring to it to tease him about... Keith always had "Donald Duck" and stuff!! :( Poor Keith!!! :)
Allyn is my middle name - and it's not annoying. More so the "Woah - your parents must have wanted a boy, huh!" I'd go with whatever you think sounds better. :)
