Happy Birthday, Emma!

Well, baby, another non-birthday has come and gone for you. I have to say as ready as we are for you, I'm a little relieved March 1 is not your big day, because it is my friend Emma's birthday. Now you can come to her parties, and she can go to yours, but we won't have to worry about dueling birthdays. Emma is one of the many friends of ours who will be a part of your life. You will like her as well as Merriweather and Mugwort, her dog and cat. They're waaay more laid-back than Cujo and Zoe, our kitty cats. But I digress. From here on out all other birthdays are all yours, so bring it on!

I wanted to include a photo of Emma on this post but couldn't find one that did justice to her--she's one of those natural beauties. So instead I will embarrass her by calling her a natural beauty. But it's true.

Emma predicted the Ides of March for your birthday. Interesting, because that's when I was due.
