Monday, February 21, 2011. This is my dad holding my new baby named miya grace. I am so thankful for him! Monday, February 22, 2010. Going to re-attempt this whole blogging thing. Saturday, August 16, 2008. November 1, 2007 we were blessed with our 5th child. So now there is 7 Schumans.

But before all that and before the letters and syllables can match up with their destiny there are the parents that must choose the name. Oh what a feat that is! Some parents have names predetermined They have the girl name. They have the boy name. Set and ready to go. Not us at all! The name must sound how it is spelled.

We locked our tongues against the roof of our mouths and pulled down to make the deep click written as the letter q. Just pretend you are getting a horse to move, the teacher explained. Well, we had 7 horses on the farm, so that sound was easy enough. Now try and use it in a word. Ere I was on a Tuesday night in the capital of KwaZulu Natal, Pietermaritzburg. I lived in Zululand on a farm.
