good job sis...i bet you were thinking of me when you were doing it lol =P just joking

Nice Job izzy simple yet beautiful and effective.

ok so if I understand correctly there Mon Marie-Louise and Daugthers Isabella and Millie. any other Ambrey on this website that we should know about??? :)

Beautiful yet macabre Izzy :)
To Sylvain, I have 4 children all together, Millie being the eldest with Izzy and her twin brother Aiden next, then finally, Liana, who is too young to be on this site just yet. I have taught Izzy and Amelia how to do the puzzles and Im in the process of TRYING to teach Aiden how to do them at the moment ,so he may become a member one day :)

I think it"s amazing how you can all share this passion for something in common like the puzzle on this site. Personnaly I can't wait for my 4 children to be old enought to be able to try solving the puzzle. presently my wife and I compete on some puzzle but she's more of a pencil and paper kind so I have to print every puzzle for her. ( I do the bigger on on paper to anyway) (( Marie-Louise that mean that the majority of yours are on paper))

:)

To Sylvain, I was going to ask how many children you have, I knew that you were on maternity leave, so thanks for the above information.Its so cool that you and your wife have 4 children also, what are their ages? If you dont mind me asking. I use to do all the puzzles on paper too, especially the big ones, but I made to many mistakes on them and if I couldn't find it the puzzle would be left unfinished, so I do them all on the site now.

To Marz to answer your question Félix is 6 Laurie is 4 Jean-françois (that we adopt from Haiti) going to be 3 on august 1st and Jessyka that we are trying to adopt right now just turn 8 1/2 month. ( I know the spelling on her name is weird but it's not our choice but the choice of the natural mother)

My youngest,Liana, is having her birthday on the 1st of August too, she'll be turning 5. Good on you and your wife for adopting children, you guys must love kids :)

no we make them work day and nigth.... just kidding
yeah I think we can say we love those 4 bratz very much.

It seems an odd puzzle to attach a discussion of family to, or maybe not. Anyway, my kids Arlo and Kendra are 8 and 5 respectively. Arlo has done a couple puzzles, but doesn't really seem likely to get addicted. He's more into using his computer time for club penguin right now.

To Jan, I love your kids names, very unusual, around this part of the world anyway.

They are unusual here too. The names are meant to be unusual enough so you don't run into another one every time you turn the corner, but normal enough so that people recognize it as a name and can figure out how to spell it on the first guess. We may have missed by a bit with Arlo. When he was a baby we'd say to people, "This is Arlo," and they'd hear, "This is our lo," and they'd look at us funny and say, "Oh, so what's his name?"

LOL.You wouldn,t get that problem if you had the Aussie accent, the first syllable would be pronounced like arrr, me hearties. We like to stretch out and emphasise our a's and r's for some reason.
How is your name pronounced Jan, and from where does it originate, if you dont mind me asking? This thread probably should have been taken to the forum section of this site. I wont ask any more questions after this one :)

My parents immigrated from Germany to the US in the 1950's. They planned to go back, and so gave their kids German names, but they never actually got around to it. "Jan" is a fairly common male name in northern Europe, sort of from Holland through Poland. It's a contraction of "Johann". In German it's pronounced something like "Yun" and I use that if I happen to be talking German, which I don't do so much since my parents aren't living anymore. When speaking English, I pronounce it "Yon" presumably because that's what kids in elementary school renamed me as. But I don't particularly expect anyone to know that, so I'm very tolerant of mispronunciations. In the US, of course, "Jan" is almost exclusively a girls name, but, curiously enough, I have never at any point in my life been teased enough about that for it to be worth mentioning. It has caused a little trouble in on-line discussion forums, especially when I was at more of a dating stage of life, but I generally seed enough gender clues into my postings to clarify that.

Thankyou :) You mentioned club penguin above, well my 12 year old twins have checked it out,love it, have joined up and they say thanx. They usually play Runescape but this site will be a nice change for a while, its such a cute site.

izzy's puzzle start to look like a family reunion. Brrrrr :)
Of my 2 daughters, only Zohar (22 yo) played. She even has a few puzzles here.
Hilah (26 yo) is a bit dyslectic and it's hard for her to count!
Both names come from Hebrew words related to glowing light.
My name is purely French, and should be pronounced like "marsial" in Spanish (but really only French people can do that).

Beautiful names. I have done Zohars puzzles. I was trying to learn the spanish language a couple of years ago and was pretty good at pronounciation so I could probably almost get your name right. Lots of times I get called Maree, emphasis on the ee's, but it's pronounced more like marr-i.

hey izzy liked ur tomb stone nice work

So by the way... who died???

It's always fun, the twists and turns the commentary takes. Jan and I have already discovered several similarities between us but here I find more. My parents also emigrated from Germanyh in the 50s (52) and my twin brother and I were both given Germanic first names though I don't think it was because my parents intended to return. My twin is Eckhart which translates to to "foundation stone" (literally "corner stone") and I am Hans, also a diminutive of Johann.

But I have no children ...
