Get used to disappointment

Tuesday, February 25, 2003

Dan, I will be quite disappointed if you do not name your first-born child Inigo. Male or female.

What better way to announce a pregnancy than the internet!
Many of you have already heard, but for those who haven't, Betsy is also pregnant, and due August 11, around the same time as Shannon.

Also, we are moving to Philadelphia in the next few months, probably in June. So clearly we don't have time to come up with names ourselves, and would be happy to hear of any non-Nordic suggestions you may have.

I realized I forgot to mention Anthony and Benjamin, both names I really like but we're probably never going to be able to use, since I have cousins already named Anthony and Benjamin.

I was stranded in Illinois for the blizzard here in the Northeast, but Josh and Sherlock enjoyed it immensely. Josh, you see, didn't have to go to school or shovel any sidewalks. And Sherlock was able to bury himself, which apparently is practically heaven when you're a beagle. Now I'm back and it's gray and slushy and is even supposed to rain on Saturday! Figures...

By the way, Eirik redeems himself in the end, so he's up at the top of the list.

God bless,
Jill

Onan???? As in the sin of Onan? I'm not sure that's such a good idea. But Obadiah is definitely on the list.

Sherlock would like to suggest Watson Walsh and hopes he gets to exhibit all his best sleuthing skills along with his new friend.

My current favorite author is Sigrid Undset, so I can suggest all sorts of fun Norwegian names like Olav, Erlend, Eirik, and Lavrans. I have to admit, so far Lavrans seems to be the least flawed character, so that's my top choice. Lavrans Walsh has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Biblical is always good, too: Andrew, Joshua, Aaron, Moses, Abraham, Elijah, Gideon, Tobias, Noah, Onan, Daniel, John, Job, Nehemiah, Simon, Tobit, Ezra, Peter, Jonah, Obadiah, Zephaniah, Jesus, Adam, Isaiah...the list goes on and on...

I suppose "Impressive Clergyman Walsh" probably won't work. Oh well.

I think Buttercup will totally work for a boy. Of course Fezzik Walsh and Vezzini Walsh also have a nice ring to them.

Westley has always been a favorite of mine.

The news is finally out. I think we have talked to all of you to tell you that a new little Walsh is on the way. We need some ideas for boy names, so please help. Dan thinks that since he helped us move, we will be naming the baby Mazzucco Walsh, but he is sadly mistaken.

Holy Cow! I hope Mo doesn't mind, but I stole her account so that I could read the posts and be in the KNOW. Obviously I have honed my open apple delete skills too well back here in the Tundra, so I didn't even know this wonderful little blitzfersation world existed. I shall have to get my own account so that I don't confuse everyone.
Hope everyone is well. I sure do miss you all.

My schlep link didn't work, but for those of you in need of a quick lesson, visit Merriam-Webster.

It's been a while since we had a blog and I'm searching for a break from work, so here goes...The BLD shindig in California was great, though the West Coast BLD showing was rather poor, considering all the East Coasters that schlepped across the country and back. Those who couldn't make it missed out on meeting Devon and Anne, who were both great. Somehow, they both seemed to continue to associate with their respective BLDers despite all we could do to convince them otherwise. I'm sure you'll all be shocked and horrified to hear that Lincoln fell asleep hours before midnight, even when Jenn kicked him and propped him up on the sofa.

On the first, those of us still around (Mazzuccos, Papsdorfs, Jenn and Lincoln, Devon and Rob) visited lovely old Sacramento and even ventured onto the ice at the skating rink. Dan and Betsy probably have some choice pictures of the event, so visit them to see Lincoln and Rob dodging young children. They seemed to throw themselves at Rob's feet especially...inexplicably.

And so begins another year...Hope you all have a great 2003!!

Happy New Year, everyone! I miss you all and I hope you had a great night last night. Much love, Mo

Hi Walsho and Shannon - if you're on line, have a happy new year!
Same to Adin and Jon boy and Mo and Tiffany
