The Five of Us, Spring 2014

Giggles

On the funny side of life, Punk told us that he was angry at us for giving him the name we chose for him. He said that he knew what name he should have had since he was a baby inside me (he's been fascinated lately with pictures of his birth and pregnancy). He should have been named Cark (or Kark?), followed by the names we gave him. Gotta love that imagination!

When I do remember to call him Cark, he gets a proud, goofy grin on his face. I got me a pretty fun boy!

Better than wanting to be named something girly! Maybe he is saying Clark like in superman.

Talk To Me

I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
