baby boy has a name!

his name is asher.
i love this name.
in case you did not know, my favorite book is my name is asher lev.
i highly recommend it.
it was part of my sophomore year reading in high school and i instantly fell in love.
i still have the copy that i used that year, with all of my notes and doodles.
in fact, i reread the book once a year.
i have since also bought a first edition hardcover.
read it. enjoy.
and welcome to the world little Asher O-S!
we have been anxiously awaiting your arrival

your assistance is requested...

i have taken to calling my friend raz by the nickname of wheeler. he has yet to get the reference. anyone out there care to venture a guess to the reference?

shaking in our boots.

okay, so if it would actually snow in michigan, we may literally be shaking in our boots.
our torts professor gave out some harsh grades in her civil procedure section.
understandably we are all very, very fearful of our torts grades. gulp.

no official name yet, but we have a nickname.

yes, thanks to the magical words of baby boy's brother and auntie anne, the newest member to the gp is affectionately known as....

cheetah maccool.

cheetah because big brother owen thinks his little brother's name should be cheetah.
maccool is after the irish legend fionn maccool.

back to it.

back to it tomorrow.

guess what is first up?

wish me luck. been a long time since i have studied the constitution in any way, shape, or form.

marbury v. madison anybody?

we have another boy!

there is another boy in the o'connell-strasberg family. yes!

no name, but he is 8 lbs, 6 oz and 21 inches long!
i have been told he has some black hair on his cute little head. he was born shortly after 11 pm on 3rd january.

new baby on the way!

one of the girl posse is in labor as i write! cannot wait to meet the newest and littlest member! will keep you all posted.

babysitting.

so a good friend of mine is babysitting his two little nieces. he told me the following, which i would never have expected to hear from him. oh to be a fly on the wall. i would pay - a lot.

i bought them a princess jewelry board game.

i dress up with them.

i almost won twice; had the ring, necklace, earings and bracelet but not the crown

priceless.

a little belated, but...

happy new year!

the best to each of you in 2007!
