A Little Something Different For Ya'

I thought I would change some things up for you guys to keep you on your toes. Well, actually I had a very strong suggestion (arm twisting) to update the updates. The history behind the names begins here: My mom is very wary of the world of blogging, so in the essense of privacy for the kids and to ease one grandma's mind, I am going to use nicknames for the kids. These nicknames (and a host of others) all arrived unannounced at our home with Lois. Lois was Al's childhood nanny/housekeeper who has now come to work for us in the afternoons. (Thank you Jesus!) She gives nicknames to all of her children and grandchildren. And, considers my children hers, as Al is also "her baby." That is all I know about the origin of these names. If you ask her why she chose them, she says, "I just did." Up until today, Lois has been the only one in our lives to use these names on a regular basis. Blogger world, meet ST (sometimes reffered to as Tate), Taye, and Miss Mam. Mimi, I hope this eases your mind a little. We love you, we appreciate you and Happy Birthday!
