Now that I have this fabulous blog,
I must introduce you to my family.
This is ME (aka Buttercup) and STEVE (aka Farm Boy).
Of couse it was taken 17 years ago,
but I prefer to see myself as still 20 and still skinny!
This is our mucho macho 15-year-old,
MICHAEL (aka Teen One).
Dontcha love the pants?
There is a story there for another post...
This is HAILEY (aka Teen Two).
She is a very artistic and talented 13-year-old.
And has an artist's temperament, too.
Here is 6-year-old AUDREY (aka Mary Poppins).
She is such a hoot--she always has
something wonderful up her sleeve.
DYLAN ( aka Harold) is 2 and has a real knack for coloring on anything and everything in sight. Can you guess why I choose to call him Harold?
And 7 month old JACOB (aka --haven't come up with a literary nickname for him yet--any suggestions?--I thought about Sunny, but she was a girl).
There--now you have been properly introduced.
It is nice to meet you!!!!

ReplyDeletebut i love all the fun names, buttercup.

(how bout rupert for jake? rupert is a bear that always helps others out. not really any resemblance except that he's so dang cute and fluffy cuddly...just like a teddy bear...just a thought.)
Thanks, Nat--I'm glad someone got the purple crayon reference.
ReplyDeleteDid you all get the Teen One and Teen Two reference?
Am I just way out there?
Steph, Oliver, as in "Oliver Twist"? Does Dylan really remind you of a street urchin? hehe...
Oh--I get it! Oliver from The Brady Bunch, right?!
ReplyDeleteyes, oliver from the brady bunch! yes, teen one and teen two. got that.
ReplyDeleteThe literary references are great! Jacob looks like a "Mr. Happy" to me! Or a Pooh Bear. :) He's super cute and smiley!
