The story behind their names:

Troy Jones was named after Jim's best friend from childhood, Troy, and our best friend from college Chris Jones, who we hold responsible for our relationship. 2 amazing friends who deserved to have their names carried on.

Alexander Carlo was named after Jill's Great Uncle Alex and her dad, Ernest Carl. Uncle Alex was Nana's brother and such a wonderful man to know and love. And well, Dad, he was the most important guy to me for most of my life!
