The Nixie is three!
Three years ago, around ten o'clock at night, I begged for a little Fool. On eleven o'clock's nose, Annika landed in the nurse's arms, earning another pearl on her necklace formed by the babies she'd delivered. The apologetic midwife, speeding from home, arrived ten minutes later and marvelled at her swiftness.
Child Chinook-- our little Fool. She's beautiful and crazy and sweet and tart all rolled into one, and I'm so very glad God gave her to us and not to another.
Hard to believe she's 3 already, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Annie!
