William Sinclair Dunphey Oct 21
I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
about
Yup, my name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley. Read more »My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.

Good job, Danica.
It’s over and now the rest of the fun begins!

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how much they look alike! Great job Danica!

Congratulations! It will be fun to watch and see if he keeps his big brother’s looks. :)

Oh my, oh my, oh my. They certainly are brothers. It’s amazing how much this little one looks like Jameson when he was born. Sweetness, such sweetness. Congratulations to you too Ryan! Love & Blessings, Nancy C.

Congratulations!!!!! We love you guys, from:Grace Community Church in the little town of Moira.
October 21st, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Please post his size and the name as soon as its known. I posted my thoughts about that on the flicker page. Ryan will have a hard time topping this birthday. And he told me you were home making him a cake. Ha. love

Congratulations Ryan and Danica!

Congratulations! Nice name. ;)

I love the name, William was a favorite of ours when we were naming babies. For various reasons we couldn’t use it but I still like it. A lot.

Wow, another whole person!!! Boy was I surprised on the sex, but I sure do love boys! What a chunk!!! And yea, now the fun begins! Brothers!!
Lotsa love..diane

Ahhhh, D. You rock!!! Congrats to you and the whole fam. I can’t wait to hold him. ( I will wait to call the little man William until after your sure that’s what his name will be, and if my opinion counts for anything I like that name.)

Congratulations! He is beautiful. I love the name!
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Congratulations! Excellent name! I’m so happy for you guys. I can’t wait for Eric to get home so I can tell him! This is so wonderful.
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Oh, congratulations! I, too, love the name. Will he be called William or Sinclair? (Does that “inside-out rule” only apply to the firstborn boy? I’m just curious. Either way, I think the name will sound scholarly.
He is beautiful! As Lisa C. stated, now the fun begins … what will he be like? How different than his brother in personality? It will be wonderful to slowly discover his uniqueness, won’t it?

I love that name. Ron’s cousin named their little girl Cady after the Cady name of course. I think the name is a strong name and I absolutely think it’s so cool. I just love you guys! I bet Nana is doing an excellent job helping you out. Blessings, Nancy C.
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Great name. I can’t get over how much he looks like Jameson! You must have really thought you were having a girl, huh?
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Big CONGRATS, Danica, Ryan & big brother, Jameson! What a joy and a blessing!
October 22nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
WHAT A WOUNDERFUL GIFT FROM ABOVE! WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR YOU. GREAT JOB D!

Love the name!
Hugs and kisses from ours to yours!
Jude
p.s. I so wish I could bring a meal to you guys. I guess you’ll just have to wait until December!!!

Congrats to all of you and many blessings with this new little “blessing from the Lord!” Okay, okay. I’ll give it to you that you JUST had a baby but…..any NEW photos to post?!!:o) Come on, Ryan! We all know you’re on “cloud 9″ but, just a few pictures of the little guy and, now, the big brother?? Just teasing! When you have “time.”
