It’s time! Once again we are turning to the amazing Joe and Jen of myadoptionwebsite.com to put together another fabulous website for our upcoming trip to Shepherd!! I am SO excited about getting it completed but I am having a hard time coming up with an idea of what name to choose for Shepherd’s site. Sophie’s is ‘Sophie Makes Six’ and Jude’s is ‘And Then Came Jude’ which both came easily. But I am really stuck on Shepherd’s site name! I’d LOVE any ideas you guys have… y’all are so much more creative than I am! I’d like to incorporate Shepherd’s name into the title, yet still keep it short… no more than 4 or 5 words.
Whoever comes up with the winning idea will win a Chinese Dora DVD. I bought a few when I was in China for Jude and they are really neat! They play in Chinese with English key words… my girls really enjoy watching them! I have one left that is unopened and it will go to whoever comes up with the best name for our sweet boy’s site 🙂 Thanks in advance for putting those thinking caps on!
ok so I’m not very creative but I’ll put my thinking cap on…
Make room for Shepherd
Our path to Shepherd
ok ok back to thinking : )
Ok..how about…
“A Shepherd leads them” or
“We were led to our Shepherd” 🙂
Hugs,
Ohilda
how about
“Shepherd is the sweetest baby ever and I can’t wait to have him in my arms even if it means traveling to China in the hot, humid summer and sweating like a greased pig”
or is that too wordy?
shepherd’s path home
the joy of shepherd
shepherd, our joy
shep, shep, HOORAY!
ok…now my lack of sleep is showing….i’ll try to think seriously about this in the morning! glad you are doing another site. i first “met” your family through isabelle’s site. see how long i’ve been a stalker????
How about –
“Smitten with Shepherd”
Jennifer
Lily would love this CD.
What about:
Here come’s Shepherd.
Shepherd…another blessing from God.
Making our way to Shepherd.
I’ll keep thinking also.
Blue Skies to Shepherd
Siblings for Shepherd
I’ll keep thinking on this!

Bringing Shepherd into our flock
Adding a Shepherd to the Flock
A Shepherd for our flock, Our flock finds Shepherd,
Here are a couple ideas off the top of my head….
Safely in (the)Shepherd’s Arms
Sweet Shepherd Comes Home
Sincerely,
Lisa from Littleton
Join the flock, Shepherd???
OR
Shepherd Joins Our Flock
Is it too corny?
~Rebecca
(leaving for China in 3 weeks!!!)
How about something Biblical like “The Lord is my Shepherd?”
I love reading your blog, living vicariously through you! So how about: “Shepherd goes Southern” or “Struttin to Shepherd” or “Shepherd and Sunbeams” or “Shephards Scoop” or “Scoopin up Shephard” or “Shepards Scene” “Starring Shephard” “the chronicals of Shephard” “the Shephard surprise”……….ok just to get you started! Keep writing!

Shepherd’s New Herd!
Brooke
Bringing Shepherd into our Herd.
Brooke
How about God’s little Shepherd
“Forever with our Shepherd” or “Forever with Shepherd” or
“To forever with Shepherd” or
“A Forever Family For Shepherd”or
“Forever a Family With Shepherd”
Heather =)
The site could simply be called “Loving Shepherd” as a reference to the One who is bringing Shepherd home to his new, wonderful family.
You could have a subtitle with the following words of this hymn:
“Loving shepherd of thy sheep, Keep thy lamb in safety keep.”
Stephanie,
The first thing that came to mind was:
Shephard Leads Us Home
Good luck — I am sure that whatever you come up with will be perfect.
Amy
I was wondering when you were going to do his website with Joe and Jen! I can’t wait to see it!!
Finding our Shepherd
Along came our Shepherd
I’ll keep thinking…
Lets see
Shepherd Makes 8
Lead to Shepherd
Following the Lord To Shep
Welcome to the Flock,Shepherd
Ni Hao, Shepherd
Kathy
I thought of one more
Make room for Shepherd
Kathy
I, too, thought of Shepherd joining your “flock”, so I like those suggestions
Tish’s response was FABULOUS! I agree it “might” be a little wordy.
But….
Making Smiles with Shepherd
The Shepherd Chronicles
Along Came Shepherd(kinda similar to Jude’s, I know)
Shepherd Shining
For the Love of Shepherd
The Blessing of Shepherd
Shanghai Shepherd (ok, that is really dumb 😉
I am SO not creative on these. It took me forever to figure out Sarah’s and well, you know that the title is nothing very catchy.
BTW, the term “war stash” is a joke. One of my girlfriends saw the amount of food I keep on hand and cracked a joke about where she was headed in the event of war. Hence the term. Other terms I have heard are food storage, mother load, big ol’ pile, stock on hand, and my personal favorite…the yummylicious pile of food in the basement. 😉 Silly huh?
Happy Thursday!
“Our Sunshine, Our Shepherd”
“Our Hearts smile for Shepherd”
“Raise the roof, Shepherd’s in the house”
OK so I’m not creative! What do you expect, my blog is called “The Nuthouse” : )
You know how much I love this stuff! 😉
A Shepherd Among Us
Following Shepherd
Shepherd at Our Side
Embracing Shepherd
Shepherd Calls Us
Shepherd Joins Us
Hmmm…will think of more! 🙂
Very clever ideas have already been posted. Many on the same theme, so I’ll leave mine out that would have been similar.
In Snuck Shepherd
Shepherd’s Slide into GA
Shepherd’s Soul

Good luck picking one out!
Regards,
Debby
mom to Lindsi & Jami

Emily
One more idea from me
“Shepherd’s new herd!”
Emily
Song of the happy Shepherd
It is a poem by Yeats. I know probaly to obscur….
Oohh, I like Ohilda’s- maybe you could shorten the one to “Lead (or is it Led?) to Shepherd”!
Good job Ohilda!
How about-
Pathway to Shepherd
Increasing Our Flock-Needing Our Shepherd
Blessed By Shepherd

How about
“From Seven to Shepherd”
Hmm…I’ll have to keep thinking! 🙂
~Staci
“Led to Shepherd” or “Bringing Shepherd Safely Home”
Here’s Shepherd!
How about “A Shephard to Love” or “A Shephard of Love”
I also like the previous entries of “God’s Little Shephard” and “From Seven to Shephard”
Amy M.
How about:
Bringing Shepherd into our fold…
Shepherd joins the flock…
Okay…okay….this might get your gag reflex going, but since everyone else is giving it a go…my submission is….
Shepherd of My Heart
Did you throw up in your mouth a little? Are you fallin’ off the old compooter chair? Are you calling Chris over to have a chuckle too? See what I mean? I LOST IT, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost the mojo!
Love you…Looks like you have lots of good options. Love, Lis
Just love your blog!
Our Journey of Faith to Shepherd …
Our Faith …. Shepherd’s Journey

Charlene
I just thought of —

Love the idea of asking for help for the MAW name — I’ll have to do the same thing when I do Ella’s MAW site!
I need my brain to turn off. This is the last one, I promise…
Following our Shepherd Home
…after all, isn’t that what My Adoption Website is all about?
(Hope I didn’t inadvertently “steal” that from someone else!)
The Good Shepherd:)
Simply Shepherd
Following Our Hearts to Shepherd
And God Brings Us Shepherd
Lord Lead Us To Shepherd
how about since you like things in even numbers, “Even with Shepherd” or something like that
I read this earlier and had to think on it for a little while … of course, one came to me as I was lying down to go to sleep 🙂
Shepherding Him Home
Good luck with your choice!
Margie
mommy to a friend of Shepherd 🙂
You have some great one’s to chose from. Here’s some more…
Miles to Shepherd
Finding Shepherd

I’ll also keep thinking.
I second the entry by Lis, “Shepherd of My Heart” it could even be “Shepherd of our Hearts”. Great job!
You have so many good ones to pick from…super idea;-).
~Tami
I’m sure someone has said this one already…but at 3am during a milk run for my own China Cutie, I thought of:
Shepherd’s Crossing
Wow a lot of choices, the only thing that popped into my mind was “Shepherd’s Branch On Our Family Tree”
Donna
Oops! Just realized I spelled Shepherd’s name wrong, really wrong. Don’t know where that came from. Sorry:)
Amy M.
Before I read any of the howdies, the first thought that popped into my mind was ‘Led to Shepherd’- and I see that others thought about that also.
I also like simply: ‘Our son, Shepherd’
Have a blessed Easter!
Jenny
You always have such fun contests…I love it!
How about…
“A Shout Out to Shepherd”
“Sunshine, Smiles and Shepherd”
“Shepard…Sweet Shepherd”
Sending hugs to your family!
Julie K.
How about,
“Shepherd, Our Little Lamb”
????
Ok, I just HAD to jump in here and say that this is just too fun! Stefanie, I don’t know how on earth you are going to choose . . . there are some amazingly sweet and creative people out there! As you can imagine, Joe and can’t WAIT to create this very, very special website for you!!
Warmly,
Jennifer
How about,
“Led by the Shepherd, to our Shepherd”
I’m sorry… did you get 76 comments on this??? Holy cow woman!!
My fave so far is “The Littlest Shepard”… 🙂
I’ll try to think of some, but I’m so not good at this!
Also LOVE “Shepherd of My Heart”- didn’t gag or vomit at all, it’s so simple and beautiful.
Didn’t read all 76, so I might be repeating myself:
Shepherd’s Way
Our Little Shepherd Boy
Shepherd the Great Makes 8
For The Love of Shepherd
See. I kinda suck at this 🙁
I’ll keep brainstorming though 🙂
The Shep Life or The Shepherd Life
Along Came Our Shepherd OR
Along Came A Shepherd
still storming… so don’t even care about the dvd (though very nice of you), just having a blast with the name thing.
you know how WE are.
I hope nobody has said this one:
Wanting Shephard
My vote goes to the poster that suggested “Smitten with Shepherd”
🙂
Stepping Out for Shepherd
Growing Faith and Family
Simply Shepherd
Storing Up Treasures- Introducing Shepherd!
Expanding Hearts and Home
The Miracle of Shepherd

Monica

Stef – I know this sounds so corny but I have been pondering the blog site all day…
I keep coming back to my favorite church song…”Like a Shepherd, He leads his flock gathering His lambs in His arms, holding them close to Him, safe to His heart….leading them home…..so my suggestion is….”SHEPHERD….LEADING HIM HOME.”
Everyone has such fun ideas. I have to third A Flock for Shephard. That is the first thing I thougt of when I read your post. I also like Shephard’s Journey Home. Good luck with your choice. Shepard had a great family to come home to.
