Baby "Slug"

A new baby girl will finally be joining our family! We have waited for four years for this little person. So even though this will be a Christmas baby (something I said I'd never do), we are thrilled! Our family tends to come up with interesting names for the baby in utero. This one happens to go by the glamourous yet endearing term of "Slug." I happened to mention once to the kids that in the first ultrasound (8 1/2 wks.), the baby looked like a slug. The name stuck. Poor child! We will try to come up with something better after she is born!

You're so funny! I love the way you write--and I'm glad to see you blogging again! I actually did a post of just your kids and my kids. Remind me to upload the pics I took the other day when we see you next... (PS: it's Jennifer Schafer, in case you're wondering who this Jadie chick is.)

I remember your kids coming up for names for Kate after she was born. That is just their thing!
