On Cloud "Nine"

Our Mag (pie) turned nine on the 23rd. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. She smiled many times over in that short hospital stay. At her three day well baby checkup, the pediatrician said, "She looks smart!" At that she is. She is also a second mommy to Jean-Marie. He loves her. She helps him with practically everything. She has also become an avid bread maker.

Her latest interest is photography. I was initially hesitant to get a nine year old a camera, but she is very mature; I added a year's warranty coverage to the purchase - just in case. She also has a pretty good sense of lighting for such a young age. She snapped the photo below of her sister, Francesca. She said she liked how the dark framed the pink with the light coming through. It will be fun to see what she comes up with. Young minds are so creative.

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE! We love you!
