Random Thoughts

I asked Trevor one day if he was going to nickname his children. I had been calling Johan "buddy" and "little guy" but didn't like either. Although he is a very little guy. Trevor promptly responded (as Dayanna was still getting dressed), "Dayanna is molasses." It's true - she definitely takes her time doing everything. I think I did the same thing at her age.

Johan's nickname will have something to do with his sense of humor and his energy I am sure.

We are glad we will be home to pick our NCAA teams, although this year we have a new bet going for the winner. No more Maggie Moos shakes (they closed anyway). This year - it's potty duty for the loser! We are teaching Backside Wiping 101.

Adekipe (no clue if I spelled this right) is great on ice cream. We are trying to bring some home in a glass jar.

Tickle sounds like chicken when your children are trying to learn English. You should have heard them trying to get Trevor to tickle them more. I tried to video as they tried to say tickle but they would not say it. Then as soon as I turned off the video, Johan said "chicklay Papi".

Words abuelos should know, mide abuelo (meeday) means look grandpa. I am sure they will say this over and over. tank oo is thank you. And most other English words end in a ck sound, like stop (estock).

Our stomachs will be grateful for fewer eggs and US water, not to mention some medicine.

It's 65 and sunny again here.

Hey! Do we have any say in the prize? We prefer Maggie Moos...no backside wiping for us. How about the loser makes dinner for ALL of us! :) Don't we still owe Trevor a milkshake?
