My last name is pronounced de-young. So putting 'de Jonger ones', makes it sound like 'the younger ones'. It's a lot better then the other names I had. My parents have "The Wandering Rasmussen's" and my sister has "The Wandering Welch's". But "The Wandering de Jong's" doesn't have the same ring to it. So I started thinking about nick names that involved our last name. Mark's dad's name is Mark as well, so back home in California, everyone calls him(my husband) Mark de Jonger, or de Jongest. And then I thought, "Hey, we technically are the youngest couple in both families" (at least until my little brother and sister get older, and married and whatnot). So I decided to go with "de Jonger ones". It had a much better ring to it, and most people we know would understand it right away.
Oh! I love purple and bright colors, so that's why I chose this background. It's awesome!
