(you've grown up when you get your own "hey" thead)
How old are your kids? 7 years, obviously, and 19 months. How about the middle one? (they're all boys, right)
I've got a 6.5, a 4 (nearly 5) and a 2.5. All girls. I need righteous boys being raised in the world who won't touch them till they're married.
-
I have a 7-year-old daughter Amber, 35-month-old son Carter, and 19-month-old son Spencer. Yes, I know, the boys are close together. Fifteen months and one week to be precise. Spencer was my 'guess what honey' baby.
It was not intentional that all their names end in -er and are two syllables. It just happened that way. For some odd reason my husband didn't want to name our daughter with a name that ends in 'a' so that cut out more than half of all girl names.
I hope I'm bringing them up to be righteous individuals. It's hard when I spend most of my time thumping them for spilling soy sauce all over their rooms (http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=rantage;action=display;num=1132678459;start=195) or writing on the walls with permenant marker (http://www.kenningtons.com/christenson/cartermarker.htm).
As as for being grown-up, it was official on 11-24-05 when I got this thread:

I smell an arranged marriage!
-
well, yes, it appears that Carter and Sarah are the same age. Perhaps we could come to an arrangement.
-
I would need pictures and a list of dowry offerings.
I will give you fair warning. Carter is a stinker.
-
Excuse me while I giggle.
;D
-
*cough*
Dowry is usually offered by the bride's parents.
-
Right. Which is why she's waiting for E to make a list of dowry offerings, since he's got all the girls.
-
I bet SE tries to offer comic books.
-
dangit! You stole my idea!
Not really. I want to keep my comic books.
I thought a very intelligent daughter-in-law into games and SF would be dowry enough.
Or perhaps you have the wrong values.
-
I still need pictures, even if you refuse a dowry.
As for Carter, he loves light sabers (so much so, that he's already busted one from overuse) and knows the difference between Obi-Wan and Storm Troopers (thanks to his new Star Wars toddler action figures)...and that's about it so far. He's not quite 3 yet, so we're still teaching him the important things in life.
-
Rachael can tell Obi-wan from Quigon. She's advanced Star Wars.
Ok, pictures:
as a first born. Some pics too of her sisters, for reference when she gets older (http://www.saintehlers.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=rachbabe)
Recent pics, ca. Christmas (http://www.saintehlers.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=album01)
Rach is just a little younger than carter. she's at 30ish months.

What a cute little blonde! And your other girls are cute, too. Nice family.
-
For some odd reason my husband didn't want to name our daughter with a name that ends in 'a' so that cut out more than half of all girl names.
In 'a'? But over half of girls' names end in "y"!
-
Ookla, getting technical on me? Anyway, ending in 'y' often sounds like 'a', so that means the same thing, at least to my husband.
On second thought a lot of 'y' ending names sound like 'e'.
But then again most names that end in 'y' are actually nicknames, so that's not the real issue.
Whatever.
-
Wow SE, your kids must totally be evil. Those read glowing eyes must have come from your side of the family.
-
Sprig's new name conjurs a truely frightening image.
*Fish shudders
-
It's essential that the names be something that doesn't typically degenerate into a "y"-ending nickname!!
-
Hey, nothing wrong with a "-y" ending to a name. :)
-
Or an "a" ending either.
-
Everyone knows that "i" endings are truely superior.
-
Except that the best names are those that come from literature.

Am I to take this to mean that I was, as you say, 'grown up' on my very first 24 hours after signing up on this site, with the start of this thread?

Interesting, perhaps this is why I seem to have dogded any form of a newbie bullet.
EDIT: Hmm. Since the link seems to be retarded >:( and will not work just go to page three of this section an you will see it near the bottom.
