Happy Halloween!

Madalyn took forever to decide what she wanted to be for Halloween this year. So many options, only one day! Finally, she decided she wanted to be a University of Wisconsin cheerleader. And only a Badgers uniform would do! So, while it would have been cute to dress Lydia up like a cat (as in "copycat") or a monkey (as in "monkey see, monkey do"), Lydia is a Baby Badger cheerleader.

Final Countdown!

With only a few weeks left until the baby comes, we have finally decided we need to start thinking of baby names. There is a lot of pressure to find the "perfect" name, especially when you need to take into account sibling names, last names, and preconceived impressions about names.

A fun name website is http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html. Type in your name and see when its popularity was at its peak. The NameVoyager tracks names of babies born in the United States, as reported by the Social Security Administration, with data compiled from 1880 to 2005.

If you know of any other fun name websites, let us know!
