kathy came to visit us this past weekend and it was wonderful. ryan is unfortunately working like a dog, but she and i got to relax a lot and catch up and enjoy lily. it was a really great weekend. however, she has yet to decide what "grandmotherly" name she wants and it is tricky when referring to her when speaking with lily. a few possibilities have been: mimi, nana, g-kath, gigi. and of course, there are the good ol' standbys of: grandma, gram, granny. somehow we feel like our parents are too unique to have a regular old grandparent name. so, we find ourselves in this conundrum. if any of you have any ideas that seem to fit kathy perfectly, we are always up for suggestions. i suppose lily could just decide as time goes on, but then kathy might end up with a name like "toast" or something... (yeah, whit!)
and speaking of names, if you have a few minutes of time on your hands you ought to check out this website that was recently brought to my attention. it is a sight that has compiled names for the last ten years in utah and it's motto is: an online help for parents looking for that distinctive name that says "i'm a utah mormon!" it is pretty amazing. click on "the cream of the crop" section and peruse the real keepers of names. i think my favorite section is the "names that have food connotations: dianarea, dicey, vindalu, sugarlee, beena, pork chop, kresent, taffilyn, spoon." i guess "toast" isn't sounding so bad now, is it??
anyway, check it out if you have a chance. it might help you name your firstborn...
