Roger and I have many funny names for each other. The most well known among our family is Harvey and Sparkle. When Roger would come home for lunch or dinner unexpectedly, I would yell out, "Who's here ???" And Roger would always answer, "Harvey Johnson!" So we started calling Roger, "Harvey" and so the fable begins.... Roger would always tell me that I was the spark in his life. When he would write me little notes or cards, he would address them to Sparkle!! Yes, Roger is cute and all of our children have received funny nicknames from him. Here are some examples:
Joshua as a baby was called "Mr. Magoo" and "Coconut". Josh had no hair till he was 13 months! Cassie was named Kiki by Ben because he couldn't say Cassie. Roger likes to call Ben, "James" his middle name and Ben felt left out when he was younger because for some reason, all his siblings names end in "a". We really never planned that, it must have been done subconsciously, anyway, we started calling him, "Benjamina" and then he would cry because his name sounded like a girls! Roger calls Marissa, "Jewell" or "Missa Missa" and Rebecca is "Jane" or "Becca". We loved the name Rebecca, and named our first rabbit, Rebecca. So, when Becca was little she thought she was named after a rabbit!! Fun times!

hahaha this made me laugh out loud - seriously :D "Benjamina" hahaha and yes becca was named after my rabbit rebecca, I wanted Marissa to be named Rebecca SO SO bad!!! I remember when you asked me what I wanted to name Marissa, and I thought you really meant that it would be my privilege and responsibility to name the baby, and when I said "Rebecca" after my rabbit, you laughed and laughed at me, but then 3 years later we had Becca...I was so confused!! hahaha I love you!
Oh Allie, you make me laugh and smile. Poor little named-after-rabbit Rebecca. I will now call you Aunt Sparkle, Or Tina Sparkle!
Sheba ran away? sad. I never knew your nickname was Sparkle. It makes sense though.
It'll be fun to read your blog. Maybe you'll post more than Cassie. lol. Or maybe not. It's hard sometimes....Love you!
Harvey and Sparkle fit you two. I like the picture of you two. Can Ben read your blog or is that allowed? That is funny about Benjamina. Seth "The Man", Wind "Wind Ben-Jam-In", Sundi "Sweet Pea" and Blue "Baby Blue", Me "Sweet Katherine" and Troy "Vern". Sundi cried at first because she thought I was calling her Pee, so I had to show her the flower. And I would always say to Troy, "You know what I mean Vern?" I am not too sure if I am deserving of Sweet Katherine!
So...is this going to be the LAST post ever made on this blog?
Is it because you don't feel you can top this one? That is probably true, but you should at least try.
Cheers,
Abe
