Title...

First and foremost I want to welcome myself to the wonderful world of blogging...thanks, Julie!

I'm sure as you visit my page, the first thing you will wonder about is the story behind my title: "5 Little Kak-Kak's."  So here goes to alleviate more confusion.

As a small child, my favorite thing in the world was answering our home phone.  One afternoon I answered and to my suprise, a familiar voice began singing to me rather than saying hello.  My aunt.  As soon as she heard my little voice on the other end of the line she sang, "Little baby duckie says..." to which I replied, "kak-kak."  So there it was.  An instantaneous nickname to which I would NEVER grow out of...one that even my own children (almost 30 years later) have since obtained.  From that moment on I was "kak-kak" and my dear aunt became "grandma kak-kak!"  While she has been gone for a couple of years now, I will always be "kak-kak" and my kids "baby kak's."  

It's funny how something so silly becomes so special.  How the little things aid in shaping who we are...she is truly missed!!
