 tusselwupper

my brother, rob, and his family (lulu on the right, roxi in the middle) are arriving in north carolina (from colorado) tomorrow.

they're going to spend saturday evening with us before heading to topsail beach to be with her family for the week. they'll be back in durham labor day weekend and I'M SO UTTERLY PSYCHED that i think my face will bust into a million pieces from grinning so hard.

yay! family bonding, beers, and golf. i predict some golf.

oh. you know what? i don't think i've ever explained the word "tusselwupper", and i feel i must.

my brother's last name is wessel.
lulu's last name is tupper.

when they got married they talked about hyphenating (yuk) or one taking the other's name (double yuk), and finally --jokingly-- settled on combining their names.

into tusselwupper.

in fact, the file name for the picture above is "twup.jpg". tee-wup! love it!

ray (ubinger) and i (wessel) couldn't resist combining our names either, just for fun: we're ray & christa wessubingel.

we made up a good one for sarah (ovenall) & georg (patterson) too: povenattersall.

I had forgotten about Povenattersall! It would be a step down in the surname department for Georg, but a big step up for me :)
