...I had the happiest day of my life. My daughter Josie, who I waited and waited for and thought I would never get to have, was put into my arms, after a long, hard labor. She was the sweetest, smuggest little lump in the world.
She is still the sweetest and smuggest, but now is a tall willowy thing up to my shoulder. For her birthday she is getting an archery set and a field easel for "drawing from nature like Beatrixth Potter and Amy from Little Women, Mom," and a pretty cigar box full of art supplies from her little sister.
Best of all, though! She got a baby cousin! My sister gave birth this morning to a baby boy, 7 lbs 5 oz, 21" long. I am teasing my sister that we'll be calling him "BillyBob" (his "tummy name") when he's 35 because they can't decide on a name.
Happy Birthday, Josie! You are my favorite big girl in the whole world! Happy Birthday, BillyBob! You are my favorite unnamed baby boy in the whole world!
