Mr. Miggins



 
So when we were growing up, my brother had a stuffed gorilla named Rocky.  He had red boxing gloves and is, for some reason, a fixed part of my childhood.  Right now I can totally remember what his gloves felt like when I squished them.  

Anyway, Ana used her Christmas money to purchase this guy, and promptly named him "Mr. Miggins".  Why?  I don't know.  But it's really fun to say.  

Deep thoughts for a snow day, but I wonder if one day my kids will be like "Hey, remember Mr. Miggins??"

Name Ideas Please

Exercising with Dad and enjoying her mini slinky. Ok, some of you had some, uh, interesting name choices for our new little one. We will have an ultrasound before Christmas, so then we can start narrowing it down, but does anyone have some REAL ideas? We like short uncomplicated names with meaning. We don't like names that remind us of lousy people or strange celebrities, and none of those weird new names that people our age are naming their kids, like "Christman" or something. (That is a real name - I know a little girl AND a little boy named that. It is pronounced like Christmas, only not.) So yeah, give us some ideas. Does anyone like "Paul"? Is that too old sounding? What about Ana for a girl? Hmmm...
