We Had a Tough Time Naming Our Kids
I decided that it’s okay to talk about our family but just not to use names. So let me introduce you to my kids; number one, number two, number three, and of course number four.
Our oldest son, number one, just finished high school, while our oldest daughter, number two will be starting high school in the fall. Number three is a fifth grade boy and number four is a girl going into third grade. Now that the summer is here were busily trying to make plans to keep them occupied. The oldest two will be at summer camp for a couple of weeks in August, while the younger two will be at day camps for a good part of the summer.
Number three just finished the little league baseball season and we were very pleased to discover that his coach awarded him a good sportsman medal. (We are choosing to ignore the comment from a friend, who said that the good sportsman medal goes to the kid who got his ass kicked!), I hope he is going to continue playing this summer. He had a really good time playing, and his coaches were great.

Thanks for commenting on my blog.
Yeah, it’s hard talking about your family on a public website. I don’t have any kids of my own (that I know of / thank god) but even just saying a sibling’s name is tough.
I too was awarded a sportsman’s medal back in the day. I’m going to choose to ignore that comment as well (even though in my case it is *very* true).

Nice to hear from you Naresh … I was definitely the type to get kicked around in sports too!

You have them all spread out! I’m not going to ask if that’s by accident or if you’re just crazy.

Yeah, there really wasn’t a plan … but the first two are VERY close together, just 15 months between them, so we definitely wanted to take a bit of break before number 3!

hi Ferg, I keep seeing your link over at Frank’s site (optempo) and finally decide to click through. I like your kids’ fictitious names, reminds me of the Cat in the Hat and “Thing 1″ and “Thing 2″. You could also be like George Foreman who liked his name so much that he named his kids George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI. Your kids could be Fergus Jr, Fergus III, Fergus IV, and Fergus IV. I’m not sure what your girls would think of that though…
