We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
It’s that time of pregnancy again. The leaves are changing, the weather’s turning, college sports are underway, and the belly is almost as big as it is going to get (right? right? humor the pregnant lady, please). That’s right, it’s the time when we allow you to submit your picks for the future name of this future child. You get to feel like you’re involved in the naming process, we get to test out some of our favorite names against some not-so-favorite competitors. Everybody wins! It’s fun, so please indulge us. I promise this will be the last name-related post until the little bugger is born and we actually decide on a name. Well, except maybe announcing the winner(s). And I’m sure you are all wondering what the prize is. Hmmm . . . how about we name our 10th child after you? Courtesy of the recession? Or maybe we’ll come up with something more persuasive. Maybe I’ll make some tasty tasty tastiness and send it to you in the mail. That could be fun, too. But without further delay,
Fill them out and send them back to us (heiselt or heiseltea (at) gmail (dot) com) by the end of the month. And we’ll hope Little Roscoe does not make his grand appearance before then.
So, the Wildcards… do we get to pick something? Or does that just mean "anything but that!"
Yes, wildcards are your choices . . . anything you want.
You guys picked some way awesome names! Cameron has a couple of days off, so we'll try to get it filled out. :0)
Oops, I just realized, it's boys names. So, just ignore the list I sent (except the boys names).
I love trying to pick baby names. I hope I not way off.
How about Carly? And then you'd have Carly Simon. But Carly for a boy? Hmmm.
Now I wish we would have added Paul to the bracket.
Here's to lost opportunities.
Congrats on the upcoming baby boy! We are very happy for you guys, hope Lizzie is feeling well. When we were expecting with Eli all we could think of were girl's names. We didn't know what to name him until we saw him, I will try to summit the names if I think of any cool boy's names.
