Hannah… a Supreme Court Justice?

When Daddy and I were coming up with names for our first daughter, he didn’t want any cutesy names because “that is not a good Supreme Court Justice name.” Yep, every name we picked out for Abigail was something that was “worthy” of a justice. Even when we were pregnant with Hannah, this was still a requirement. Even though I had thought about more girly names at first, they were vetoed. 🙂

I find it very hard to think of the future for Hannah. We talk about Abigail and Ethan, and their future professionals (though I think both would make good actors, as they have the drama down pat). We talk about Abigail’s negotiation skills at almost 5 years old, and how she would make a great “Supreme Court Justice.” When he joked about it at lunch today, I immediately thought about Hannah.

You always think about the future of your children…planning for college, future careers and families, and heck, even planning for elementary school.

I don’t do this with Hannah. I don’t know if she will ever be able to go to the elementary school that her big brother and sister go to. I don’t know if she will ever get to go to preschool. Will I never be able to think about her future in this way? Or is this something that I will get over?
