Life is always better with siblings. <BR/><BR/>I am voting for Arthur if it is a boy. Azariah is pretty cool too though. I sadly do not think that Aleatha will go for Mishael as a name though, so I am not too committed to voting for Azariah.<BR/><BR/>I think I would have to go with Eleanor if it is a girl, but I would probably always end up singing a Beatles song about her whenever I spoke of her. Until she appropriated the name for herself of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-74826916184478197132007-10-27T13:05:00.000-04:002007-10-27T13:05:00.000-04:00Oh, I also meant to say first, thanks Camilla for ...Oh, I also meant to say first, thanks Camilla for remembering me on that day; I too remembered it. Funny how some things are still hard, even after we've worked through them emotionally and logically.<BR/>Also, I've been reading the Purcell's blog, which is funny, because they are also in our ward; Lydia and Jonathon are in Nursery together. Actually, we've found the refried beans (they're in the foreign foods isle, not the beans isle), and to date have bought five cans, although they're expensive here. It's worth it, though. I didn't know how attached I was to fake Mexican food. <BR/>Don, the toilet paper is thin, but then again, our cleaning ladies provide it, so it's institutional stuff. I don't know what it would be like if I bought it myself in the store.Thorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564924243186464304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-65525854766244494512007-10-27T11:59:00.000-04:002007-10-27T11:59:00.000-04:00We've been talking about names, and the current A ...We've been talking about names, and the current A names are Arthur, Aloysius (pronounced a-loo-ISH-us) and the name Lewis comes from it, Alistair (I think that this will probably be vetoed as well, but I can dream), and then in the far behind, but still trucking along is Azariah. To be honest, Aloysius is pretty far in the back too. So's Alistair (not on account of me). <BR/>Girl names; Eleanore, Eleanora, Gwyneth (not very high up), and other flowery old fashioned English style names that I can't currently think of right now.<BR/>I want to do British names, to celebrate the country of birth of our child. Anyway, I'll get off before this becomes a whole post.Thorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564924243186464304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-62782560955243578472007-10-27T10:47:00.000-04:002007-10-27T10:47:00.000-04:00Congrats!

They're sometime relatives of mine. They're doing a year at Oxford too and she just had a funny post about grocery shopping that you can probably relate to called "The food." at<BR/>familypurcelluk.blogspot.comFrau Magisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919596861599804716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-61418391295836608552007-10-26T09:27:00.000-04:002007-10-26T09:27:00.000-04:00All RIGHT! on the 12 weeks!

I ran into some donut sticks at the store the other day and thought of y'all. I don't think I can send you a shower, but I'll see what I can rustle up in terms of random americana. I'll start collecting.RoseEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661691621310590334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-69542285884109859562007-10-26T06:38:00.000-04:002007-10-26T06:38:00.000-04:00Arthur.

Even though I knew about the pregancy, it took me a second to realize why you took the picture with Lydia and the baby's afghan. Okay, so I'm slow. I loved the tour. The kitchen looks more modern than I had visualized and the windows are small. I know how much Thora loves natural light. It's still better than a basement.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152419247914244251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-79318126549413333572007-10-25T17:22:00.000-04:002007-10-25T17:22:00.000-04:00Well duh?

Right now we're being poor missionaries, which isn't nearly as poor as being poor students. In our case, we have some money, we just don't dare touch it, as it has to last out the mission! And here in the Dominican Republic, they LIKE American dollars!<BR/><BR/>Off-the-wall question: How's the toilet paper there?

I mean sure there is some danger of the bath burning you but if you insulated it right and had the water go through the bath heating you would never have to worry about running out of hot water when you run the laundry or something. <BR/><BR/>Anyway thanks for the well wishes. It is hard being poor. Right now me and Heather are in the poor professional stage. Luckily though we haven't had to buy a single diaper so many people just gave them to us. <BR/><BR/>If you desperatly need anything from this side of the pond just ask and we'll try and send it. We may be poor but we are still your friendsTravis & Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061987559208624961noreply@blogger.com
