Some one tell Joe Boyles...

As many of you might know, Aunt Susan (my dad’s sis) was with us all last week. I think an appropriate word to describe our time with her is ‘wagga.’ (I actually have no idea what ‘wagga’ means, but my Uncle Dave uses it all the time in his emails). Back to Aunt Susan; in preparation for her impending grandmotherhood she attempted to teach the girls her self-chosen grandmother handle, “Sue-Sue.” See the problem is, the girls haven’t quite mastered the ‘s’ sound. They substitute our friend the letter ‘d’ instead. For instance, ‘sissy’ comes out ‘diddee.’ So you see where we are going with this. Yep sorry, Aunt Doo-Doo, but the laws of grandmother naming clearly state ‘the name ye are designated by the first grand-kids shalt forever ever be thine grandmother name.’ Now she could sneak out on the techinicality that our girls aren’t really her grandkids. But come on, the Wood family is a pretty tight-knit bunch and we would be crazy not to take this opportunity. The Aunt formerly known as Susan, now goes by Doo-Doo. Joe, this is my gift to you. Aunt Susan, sorry-ish.
Aunt Doo Doo did make a strong case for ‘Favorite Aunt’ while she was here. We got to swim, go to the Magic House, eat good food, wear clean clothes, etc. She really took care of us. But don’t worry all you other Aunts, the polls aren’t closed and we are taking cash donations.
In other news, the school year is nigh upon us, (that’s right I said nigh) classes start Aug. 31. Sept. 23rd is still techinically our due date for the girls. BUT, our doctor is going out of town sept. 15-18. We are gonna go in on the 14th and if Elizabeth is dilated at all they will take the girls. If not, she goes straight to bed from whence she shall not rise until the doc gets back in town. (I have no idea where this olde english is coming from, but I do try to use ‘whence’ whencever possible). So the 14th could be the day.

Roll Tide,
