I Need Help!

Okay, so there is this new book I am writing and I can't decide on a name for one of the main characters. She has short red hair and glasses, and is the youngest of her quadruplets, Bethany, Luke, and Tucker. They have an older brother named Maelgwn (MILE-gun), just to give you some back round. At the moment I am calling her Allison, but I want to change it. Whoever gives me a name suggestion I like the best gets his/her name on the cover, and I am seriously going to try and publish this. Please tell me in your comments, but for those who have my e-mail address, send it to me via e-mail, please!
Your perplexed aspiring author,

 Sophie

Cattle herdin'!

Today I got to be a real cow girl and herd cattle! It was so much fun, but it wasn't like you see in the western movies. My uncle and I had gotten some bulls and heifers into a cow pen the night before by wading through muck and yelling at them. Then we had to load them into the trailer. Nothing much happened there, except the rope broke that we used to let the cows in. Then my uncle and I had to wade through muck again and move a lot of fences, fill a silage wagon, and ride a whole ton of trucks and tractors. All in all, it was a fun day, but I am plumb wore out!

Home again!

So, to recap our journey, on Sunday we went to the National Cathedral. It was so pretty, and so HUGE! I couldn't get over how big it was! On Monday we went to colonial Williamsburg. It was really neat! They were having homeschooling discount week then. It was fun. We also had a really nice place to stay in Williamsburg, and it was super cheep! It had a big living room, dining room, kitchen, small bathroom, small bedroom with a squishy queen sized bed, a master bedroom with a king sides squishy bed, and a master bath with a jacuzzi! We got two condos just like that, so we had PLENTY of space. On Tuesday, we went back to Williamsburg, and it was just like the day before, except I got lost on a bus. On Wednesday, we went to Washington, D.C. and toured the white house, went in some of the Smithsonian, got to go into the Senate and House of Representatives and watch them, only we didn't see John Boehner OR Joe Biden, and they are supposed to be in charge of the House of Rep. and the Senate. I mean, they get payed to be there! I also found my favorite TV channel: C-span! Anyway, after that we went to the Lincon Memorial, and we got on the subway and went home. It wasn't so great as in the pictures at the Lincon Memorial though because one: Every one was yelling, and it was so echoish in there. Two: they had the reflective pool drained. Waa! :-(. On Thursday, we went swimming, and ate at this really fancy seafood restaurant. On Friday, we were in the car all day, and Saturday we were in the car all day again, and ate at this cool Athenian Restaurant. So, that was our trip at a glance.
