Love This Savannah

I love my great niece, Savannah. Here is a digital scrapbook page I did of Savannah and her mother, Hannah.

Don't Name Your Kid That!

I'm very happy for the folks in Egypt that their revolution was successful in getting their dictator to step down. Congratulations! Go out and celebrate, Egyptians! But don't get all carried away and start naming your newborn children wacky names after social networking sites may have played a pivotal role in all of the revolutionizing, OK? Dude that named his daughter Facebook, I'm talking to you.

That's right. According to the Daily Mail, some Egyptian man named his new daughter Facebook. Her full name is Facebook Jamal Ibrahim. Yeah, that's pretty. Um, but seriously now. Facebook? That's not a name! That's a thing! And even if it was going to be a person's name (and it is not), it certainly wouldn't be a little girl's name. That's an asinine boy's name if I've ever heard of one.

But apparently the thinking of the little girl's father was not along the same lines as my own thinking. Shocking, I know. See, "He is said to have called her Facebook because he was so happy with the role played by the site in organising protests in Tahrir Square and other cities throughout Egypt." OK, then. Couldn't he have commemorated the events by naming her Tahrir? That's kind of a cool name, actually. I wouldn't mind being named Tahrir and then being able to tell people about why I was named that. I would absolutely mind being named Facebook and then having everyone look at me funny when they first heard my name. Hey, wait a minute! Why is the father the only one who I am hearing about being the one to name her? Wasn't there a woman attached to the uterus that this child popped out of? Doesn't she have a say in any of this? What's that? Oh. Right. They're not quite like that. Dictator or not. Bummer. Sorry, little Facebook.

But I guess it could have been worse. She could have ended up being Facebook Twitter Yahoo! News Ibrahim.

Angel Love

Our grand niece, Savannah, is our little angel so I did this digital scrapbook page about our little angel love.

Our Newest Valentine

Luke and Hannah brought Savannah home last weekend and we got to spend time with our new little darling. Here is a scrapbook page I did for Valentine's Day with Great Grandmother and her great grandchild.

Savannah Comes Home

Hannah and Luke came home yesterday for the first time since Savannah was born. She's 5 weeks old. Both Hannah and Luke's family lives here so we consider this home, but they have a house in Columbia, SC because Luke is in the Air Force. Anyway, here are the photos I got yesterday.











































Elaine made us a huge batch of oatmeal cookies!

Little Savannah

Stan and I got to go visit Luke, Hannah and Savannah yesterday. Elaine and Ronnie (the proud grandparents) got to go the day before. Here are some photos that Elaine and I took.
