What’s in a name?
Naming our boys didn’t require as much discussion and debate as coming up with a name for our blog. When deciding on names for our boys, we selected one name and stuck with it, no searches through baby name books, no debates. In naming our blog, we consulted friends and a thesaurus. We thought of and discarded a number of titles, including Where the Child Things Are; Apples and Chicken (the boys’ favorite foods); Two Boys, Two Cats, Too Tired; and Legos, and Trains, and Blocks… Oh my! We agonized over what each title meant to us, what it would convey to others, and if it was a good-enough fit. Finally, we happened upon Adventures in McQuill-land. This seemed to adequately sum-up what we hope this blog will become, nothing fancy, just the musings and writings of the daily adventures of our little family. So, Welcome… and let the Adventures begin!
