Gabe and his new cousin (1st cousin once removed?) Lucy.
(picture courtesy of the proud father)
Lucy calmed right down when she met Gabe on Sunday.
I was moved all over again to see how gentle he is. He loves all creatures great and small -- but especially small. He held her as if she were a china doll.
Oldest Daughter and Middle Daughter were there, too. And the One True Wife, who, though suffering from a protracted bout of asthma, takes the most visceral delight in holding a baby of anyone I've ever seen.
My sister the grandma is over the moon. The parents, in their new home, are aglow in that astonished, delirous exhaustion of the new parent.
Which I vaguely remember.
As befits a child of the 21st century, Lucy has the Internet down. Pat.
--T.A.
I wouldn't be able to tell who is the cutest ... perhaps the Boy because he reminds me of my own treasures.

Hey LUCY!
(Sorry, I had to.)
