Portmanteau?

This usage of the word was coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871). In the book, Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice words from Jabberwocky, saying, “Well, slithy means lithe and slimy ... You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word.”

Putting more than one thing into a single moment...sounds like a day in the life of a Keever! We have been playing, while singing and dancing you see so that makes us plingdingcers.

Eagan, now 7, has been enjoying many moments lately like starting school at the new Noble Crossing, playing football on the NEFL Raiders team creating aspiring hopes to becoming a future runningback with the Noblesville Millers and doing a lot of frog hunting in our new neighborhood.

Dylan is creeping up on 3 come December 28. Why am I wishing time away? Because potty-training is on the horizon you see and I am considering training he and Reagan at the same time. Meanwhile back at the body shop, Dylan continues his love for cars and all things with wheels including trains, trucks and "poops" aka scoops like backhoes and diggers.

Reagan, oh what a difference a girl makes, is just that... all girl. Nearly 17 months, she has a hunkering for shoes and accessories and is out to prove that a person can live on bread alone; bread sticks, peanut butter and bread, biscuits and rolls. Where did she ever get the love of biscuits?

Our children, they keep us moving and keep us enthused for living and thankful for our blessings!
