Baby Emma Blog

In keeping with a promise to myself, I’ve decided that the only way to keep an account of the first few weeks of Emma’s birth is to blog it with daily discourse and late night meanderings!

Elvis Loses It!

Maybe there's hope for my girls yet!

Surprise surprise we have a couple of those Elvis dolls that you hang from the rear view mirror. Well, I noticed one of those dolls with its arm hanging out of its socket, and the spring coil connecting the arm stretched and trailing behind it! I asked Lill what happened and she said, "The twins got to it." Lill then responded to my raised eyebrows, because she continued, " I said to the girls, you know who this is, and pointed to the doll, and the twins replied, yes Mum, it's Elvis."

At that point I thought it prudent for me to turn away before Lill saw the huge stupid grin on my face!

ODD SPOT: It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month or what we know today as the honeymoon.

P.S: Mead! Bleeeech!
