Can't quite get on to it but am glad that you're on to it because that's a wonderful description -- though I'm sure you'll have more to say about the experience -- and terrific photos. I see Bronwen and indeed Aunt Meg, as well. What fun you will all have. Congratulations to all of you.

I've given it to friends becoming grandmothers and now I'll be rereading it and comparing it with my own responses.

I did mention in comments yesterday that she has my middle name, but since I'm trying to be discreet about my teaching identity (really don't want a zillion students knowing too much about my personal life, altho' I realize it's always a possibility, given the picture and all). I love my name on her better than on me -- It's got a great rhythm with Adam's last name.<BR/>Pseu: thank you, and yes, I don't think I'm done writing about this experience yet so I'm glad you won't mind humouring me a bit longer.<BR/>Cybill: Do you need a special keyboard for that?

Mr Ripley just looked at the picture and the first thing he said is that she has B's eyes, and I agree, but see Adam in her nose and mouth. I'm sure I'll have another opinion after I've seen her in person. She's so adorable- not squished at all as some newborns are. <BR/><BR/>And I notice you don't mention her middle name... a big honour for you!Miss Ripleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361296392185175864noreply@blogger.com
