mabfanSo for almost a week now, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gnomi and I have been parents, and our world has turned delightfully upside-down.
Today in shul we gave our daughters names. Please say hello to
Elisheva Meira Burstein
Yael Batya Burstein
As Nomi noted already, Elisheva Meira is named for my great grandmother Elizabeth and Nomi's great grandfather Meir. Yael Batya is named for my father Joel and our friend David's father Julius or Yehuda (who died the Saturday night before Nomi's surgery) and for Nomi's grandmother Betty.
I'll have more details later on the significance of the names, once I have the time to write them up...say, in about twenty years.

Your joy in life has now doubled.
Pax et bonum,

Date: 2009-07-26 08:11 pm (UTC)So you didn't choose to name them Eagle and Columbia or Armstrong and Aldrin. :) And they were born one day before the 40th anniversary of the moon landing!
You know, it's never too early to start teaching kids the solar system the right way, including Pluto as a planet. When my second nephew was born, the first time I held him, when he was one day old, I told him, "Pluto is a planet. Don't listen to the IAU." Supporters of the demotion believe their view will win over time through acceptance by the younger generations and the dying off the older ones. Let's not let that happen!
Best of luck to the four of you!
