Names???



The twins are continuing to grow nicely. They are biggish for their gestational age, even for singles, so that is a really good sign. Naturally they have big heads! Just like the rest of us Mac-Taks. When Finley had his first check-up the Dr commented on the size of his head and said it was typical for children to be like their parents. Steve and I understood that to mean that we are the bobble-head family. So all you knitters that are contemplating hats for any of our clan, keep that in mind! ;)

I saved up all my energy and took Fin to his swim lesson on Friday and still found that I had overdone it. It's so hard though!! He loves it so much and is so darn cute in the water!!! While we are in the pool he tells me that he swims like a Baby Beluga and that he swims so free! Raffi is leaving his mark on yet another generation.

We bought several giant houseplants last week and while we were at the nursery I was bitten about 30 times and because of the medication I am taking I am finding them almost unbearably itchy! If anybody has some home remedies to suggest please send them to me ASAP!!! I'm dying here!!

I've made friends with a mom in the complex that just moved here with her family from Denmark. She has been great to hang out with and seems to share a lot of the same interests as me. It is making being confined to the complex much more pleasant! Her husband is an engineer with Lego!! How cool of a job would that be??

OK, so we are moving in to the third trimester over here and still don't have any strong feelings for naming these little guys. Argh! So please send your suggestions! Perhaps we'll post the top 5 and put it to a vote..... (Jane and Dave are, of course, already in the running!)

The photos are just kind of random shots - I need to transfer new photos to the computer and then I will post some more current ones. The top photo is Fin in our bedroom and the bottom one is Fin in Kowloon, looking over at Hong Kong Island.

We vote for Jane and Dave if you have a girl and boy and also suggest Dave and Jane if you have a boy and a girl.

Love Jane and Dave

ummm...I don't have any name suggestions as of yet, but I do have some naming parameters.

1. They can't rhyme. Trust me on this one. Ol' Kenny and Jenny got pretty stale, pretty fast!

2. They can't start with the same letter. ie. Bill and Betty, Mark and Mary...pretentious, and not just a little inbred.

3. And please, for the love of all that is good in the world...don't just "feminate" a boy's name. Andrea and Andrew, George and Georgina, Gerald and Geraldine, and dear Paul and Paula will thank you from the bottom of their soon to be born hearts.
