Who's Oob?

Okay, so it's time to introduce the kids. (This would also be a good time to discuss real-kid-names versus fake-kid-names, but I'll leave that for my better half to do.)

First, we have 10-y.o. boy Myxl, who loves robots and acting crazy. He's the one who just got the Lego Mindstorms NXT from his incredibly generous grandparents, an aunt, and an uncle.

Second, 8-y.o. Klenda is a horse enthusiast. She and Myxl are "nutty buddies," and have been ever since she could toddle.

Third, Zorg is a 6-y.o. boy who loves cub scouts and cats. He's the boy I wrote about earlier, the one who is well on his way to being able to read.

Fourth, our 5-y.o. girl is Leena. She has more nicknames than our other five children combined (we don't know how that happened, it just did: Sunshine Girl, Queen of the Squirrels, Jellybean Queen, Lima Bean, etc.).

Fifth, we have a 2-y.o. boy, Choclo. Chocolate was, in fact, one of his first ten words. It's good to be the fifth child.

Sixth and finally (for now), we have 12-week old boy Oob. There's not much we can say about him, except that he got up at 3 and didn't get back to sleep until about 6. That's A.M., folks. ("Oob" is about all we can say aloud after something like that.)

Last, I'll just post a "Shout Out" to my nieces Burger and Zippy. Hi out there!!

I'll try to find some way to put a "key" permanently on the side of the blog, but this will do for now.
