That is only in the center of Chicago.. the rest of us in "the Burbs" or "Downstate" (which by the way encompasses everything out of Chicago whether north or south) say Mom :-) Of course when I was really little I said Mommy like my kids do now :-)<BR/><BR/>MeCaryagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283871229312401932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-40885815364403882682007-03-27T22:01:00.000-04:002007-03-27T22:01:00.000-04:00I'm there too!

The only divorces here that we can trace in either side of the family are my husbands sister who has had 2, and 1 cousin of my mom's out of over 11 cousins. I can't remember how many she has! My mother and father in law and my parents all get along great. It is weird to see others that don't! I love that he is studying you! That is great! What a fun way to let you know! Sounds like he is doing great.<BR/><BR/>CaryeCaryagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283871229312401932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-4005220076006000432007-03-27T20:44:00.000-04:002007-03-27T20:44:00.000-04:00I have no idea why I was anonymous it was me!

Sheesh. <BR/><BR/>Let's see...where Grace comes from it's "mom" and in Illinois it's "ma" and in the south it's "mama" cuz they can't name no one with just one syllable~ Billy Bob, Barbie Sue. Oh wait... George and Jeb. They are from the south and just one syllable, huh? Okay, I take it back. Oh wait. They are from Texas, huh?

Other posts will wait... it is the day-to-day events of life that give us the most incredible and magical moments... all I can say about your son's family history is that he already seems to have a true appreciation for how very lucky he is! <BR/><BR/>And that southern drawl? I love it... us native Floridians don't have it, but I picked a bit of one up after moving to Alabama in my teens and then to the moutains of NC, where their accents make the heart just melt!<BR/><BR/>Love you lots,<BR/>TiggsTiggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547847355311812871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-89906491723646848602007-03-27T07:39:00.000-04:002007-03-27T07:39:00.000-04:00The southern drawl is a fine art that only a few o...The southern drawl is a fine art that only a few of us have mastered!

We come from a family that has virtually no divorce's on either side. I guess that's a sign of a strong sense of family! About that southern accent,,everytime we go up north they always ask about it.(Especially niagara falls). Even in Pa.they want to know what part of the south we're from! Seems to remind them of plantations and rebel flags. There is something about the south that makes people smile!mthchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337700677733209175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-88553102666416978242007-03-27T07:00:00.000-04:002007-03-27T07:00:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.mthchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337700677733209175noreply@blogger.com
