[Charity]

*Charity
*June 26
*girl
*Still working on trying to find the perfect name--the combination that sounds best to us right now means we'd call her by her second name instead of the first, and I'm not sure we want to give her a lifetime of correcting people and explaining which name she uses--but it just doesn't sound as good the other way around. May have to try something completely different.
*first baby
*I'm from Nova Scotia, living in Boston (and looking forward to a trip home this weekend). DH and I have been married over 10 yrs and are delighted to be expecting our first. So glad this baby is due at the end of the academic year, just a few weeks after I finish teaching. After that--trying to find a way to be a SAHM.

Tori

June 4 by my charting and the u/s. We're hoping to make it to at least the late May full moon.

one of each--our first(s)

We think we have names picked out, but will wait to meet the babes before committing. Not planning to share until then.

Simone and Corbin (Border Collies), Pema (polyester mixed-breed), Bungee, Charlie and Maya (American Bulldogs)--the canine Brady Bunch when DH and I married, Nova and Helga--outnumbered felines, and a pond with Moss the turtle--rescued after being smashed in a parking lot, and countless fish

DH and I are both artists, love the water, miss the mountains.
