Emi's Name
We neglected to post Emi's full name, so let me do that. We named her Emi Kate. Emi is a Japanese name meaning "beautiful, blessed ", and it's pronounced "em-ee" like the Em in Emily. In fact, we chose the name because of the Japanese meaning, and in honor of one of our favorite people whom we lovingly refer to as Emmy (a.k.a. Emily Chaffin...now Belnap). Kate came from...well, we just liked the sound of it next to Emi. It fits beautifully, don't you think?

Congratulations guys! Emi is beautiful, and I love her name.
I love the names you pick, they are perfect. Congrats on another beautiful baby girl. I always wanted to name a girl Mae, but thought Mae Hirt would be a bad combo. "May I Hirt you" "you may hirt soon"
