I'm an Auntie again

I got a call from my mum at 11:30pm last night. My sister had just given birth to an 8 pound something baby boy. They have named him Jeremiah John.

My mum was present to witness the birth so she is very very happy!

So anyone know of any Beatrix Potter Jeremiah Bullfrog patterns I should be now purchasing ?

Hugs
Mel.

Congrats, Auntie Mel! I haven't seen any Jeremiah Bullfrog - but most likely because I haven't been looking for them. And thanks for the ear-worm [sigh].

Congratulations Aunt Mel! I think being an aunt is even better than being a grandma. YOu get all the joy of spoiling the kids, the ability to return them to their rightful owners, AND you don't have to deal with any senior citizen issues. Now if I can only figure out how to get Joy to World out of my head. "Jeremiah was a bullfrog..."

Joy to the fishies in the deep blue sea - Joy to you and me !!!!!!! Actually TwoLumps did a sketch on that last year ... hang on I'll see if I can find it .... Ahhh here it is:

The actual thread starts a few days earlier than that :)

Dad and I have been singing this regularly much to the annoyance of my sister :)

Paula Hubert said...

ACK! Now this is TWO days with Joy to the World in my head [laugh]. The name that my BIL suggested for Jeremy was actually Jeremiah and my sister flat out refused because she didn't want to hear everyone singing the song for the rest of her life!

Melissa Hicks said...

Paula - I wondered what you meant by ear-worm! Apparently my sister's partner wanted Jeremy but Nicole liked Jeremiah much better - so Jeremiah it is!

Here's the lyrics: http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thebigchill/joytotheworld.htm

And here's the TwoLumps comments on it last year: http://twolumps.net/d/20051219.html

Creedence Clearwater Revival did a version of the song too at some point, I'm sure I have it here somewhere ....

XXXX YYYY said...

So not going to look until daylight. Not a hope, not even playing the mp3 you sent me....

Melissa Hicks said...

Coward !!!! If we have to - so do you - oh and I can send you the MP3 of the CCR version too - which is a better version IMHO ....
