Clarification

Originally I started this blog for family members to keep up with our lives even though we are miles away. I figured friends as well as random people would visit but originally did not feel it necessary to explain how I came up with the title. But as I’ve experienced, even my own family members are unsure of its origins so I thought a little explaining might be necessary.
Bean=Ella
Shortly after she was born she was nicknamed Bean. I'm not sure why I thought to call her that but ironically enough my sister did as well. While Nicole was here visiting she was holding her and glancing through an L.L. Bean catalog. L.L. Bean= Ella Bean.
To me she is Bean.
To my sis she is Ella Bean.
And to my mother she is Ella Queen Vanilla Bean. Bug=Elijah
From day one Elijah has always been BuggaBoo to me. Again I'm not sure why! I just looked at him and that is what came out of my mouth! So, his nicknames range from BuggaBoo to Bugga to Bug.

3 Coffee Mugs= Me, Kyle, and Kelsie
This is evidently the one most people don’t get. Kyle, Kelsie and I all love coffee…good coffee. I figured most of my stories would be about Ella and Elijah but didn’t want the blog to solely reflect them. In order to incorporate us I added the three coffee mugs. Starbucks anyone?

Then of course we have Mo. Or Morsel. Or just plain Meow, as Elijah would say. This would be the cat. The evil, wild, Tasmanian cat that LOVES to terrorize my Christmas tree! Between Elijah and the cat I almost wish we hadn’t put it up!
