?


Everybody is home and happy and healthy.  Shelley has been up and around, and we even all took Ella to preschool as a family, and visited all our friends at Shooting Stars. Ella held Desmond for about an hour today, just hugging him and kissing him.  It's pretty hilarious though, because I was telling her to talk to him, to tell him what's going on, but the only things she says to him are "I love you," "I'm your big Sister," and "Hi Desi."
In lieu of a coherent post with actual events and such described, we will instead ask your opinion on a matter of some import.  Shelley and I have had an argument about which is the correct short form of Desmond: "Des" or "Dez."  If you feel inclined, we would appreciate your reasoning as well.  Thanks in advance; The very tired Pyles.  Oh, many more pictures on the picasa page.

Who cares what the right thing is- go with Dez because Z's are WAY more fun to write!!!

I think Des might accidentally be pronounced "Dess" by strangers, but Dez is very straightforward

I agree, Z's are much cooler and more phonetic. Not many kids get to have a Z in their name.

Zs in cursive are hard. But that only matters in elementary school.

What a cute family. We are so excited and happy for you. The grandkids have enjoyed watching the video of Desmond. As for the nickname, who wants which name? I might have to go for family allegiance. In reality Shelley went through all the work so I think it should be in her court. Us Floyd women have to stick together. Sorry Nate. Ella, you look like you are being a great big sister. We can't wait to see all of you. Love, Aunt Leanne
