Lukases and Emilies

Pluralizing names can get a little dicey....This weekend we were favored with a visit from some very old friends (well, they're not old, but our friendship is!) from the college days. Lukas Benjamin Kramer was a roommate of Dan's at BYU who made such an impression on him that our child is named after him! (as a side note, when BJ was born and Dan called Lukas to tell him the news, Dan said, "yeah, we almost named him Lukas, but we decided to go with Benjamin instead." Little did we know, that was his middle name!) "Little Lukas" takes after his namesake wholeheartedly by being the craziest kid we know. Although we've seen the Kramers off an on throughout the years at Dan's roommate get-togethers, this is the first official meeting of the "Lukases."
But the story doesn't end there....Lukas Kramer ended up marrying an Emily (a name I had picked out ever since I was a little girl)--how crazy is that? It was so good to see them and meet their adorable daughter, Audrey. Hopefully next time they can stay longer!

Oddly enough, the story doesn't even end THERE. Here is a list of Dan's old roomies and their kids' names (well, the ones I can remember, anyway). Notice the ironic overlappage....

Dan and Sarah: Benjamin, Emily, Lukas, Sam

Eric and Valora: Spencer, Annie, Audrey + more

Lukas and Emily: Audrey

Spencer and Kim: Rachel, Daniel, Sarah, Eric, + more

Dave and Annie: I'm having a serious brain cloud...
