I love Casper and Tilly! Millie, too – but not in the same family.
Lovely names! I love Sophie and Casper. I wonder if some of the names are nicknames?
Chloe and Casper.
The Radfords have since welcomed two more children: Hallie (in 2015) and Phoebe (born several days ago).
Alfie was stillborn in 2014, three more children born were Archie (2017), Bonnie (2018) and Heidie (2020). That makes 22.
Thank you for the update, Destiny!
