(Amy- beloved, John- God's gift). As we thought through our kids names, we also wanted names that by God's grace we hope our kids live up to. Sophie- wise. William- brave/protector. Christian- Christ-follower. <br />Looking forward to the hearing what you all chose for the baby on the way!ames830https://www.blogger.com/profile/06296588256715059686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677117449309369988.post-53526627446535242422013-07-01T15:13:40.085-05:002013-07-01T15:13:40.085-05:00This is EXACTLY the topic that has been worrying m...This is EXACTLY the topic that has been worrying me as we move back to Switzerland from Australia. From what I've gathered so far, it sounds like it's inevitable that my son will start speaking to me (an American) in Swiss-German once he goes to school. I just can't help but believe that this will drive some kind of relational/cultural wedge between us. Maybe there is hope that a multi-cultural class could change the odds of this happening.

I especially enjoyed this:<br /><br />"The food, the trains, the culture mish mash, the hoards of bright, artistic people who valued not just producing things but the moments where drinks and walks and bike rides are shared with friends.
