Don't bottle up those feelings...

Friday night we ushered the shower-queue for the Bowlingites. The Queen was in her element, with two layers of different dress up clothes and room for twirling.

"Liza! Get in here now!" Maggie exclaimed, keeping the extra words to herself.

Eliza slowly obeys, taking a quick seat on the throne before entering the shower.

"You make me angry", she grits through her clenched teeth, as Daddy walks in the bathroom. "Both of you!"

Why we are our own worst enemy.

A Rose by any other Name

Upon his arrival in our home, Garrett was force to learn his new name (as were we), as well as learn the various secondary names that may be used at any given time. Early nominated contenders (grouped by theme) included:

• Alabama - Forrest 
• BBQ Cook – Leroy
• CCM Artist – Beebo
• China - Hao Ge
• Eliza - Errand Boy
• Emily & Louise - Short Round
• England – Dudley
• France – Pierre
• Grimm's – Tweedle
• Hollywood – McFly
• Italy – Vinny
• Legal – Garrett
• Mexico - Pedro

The selection of a nickname is an organic process. As it turns out, aside from his legal name, Garrett has come to be known as G-man to his mom and Guido to his dad. Eliza still considers him her Errand Boy.
