AND THE LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM BY THE HAND AND ENCHANT ONE AND ALL

This is my friend and Gilmore Girl's sister-in-law and Fearless Hunter's sister, California Girl. She is an amazing woman. She is the mother of twins, this one is here and her sister is in Heaven, watching over her family. The story of their birth was told here. This is Baby Azzy. She is seven months old. She is bright, gregarious--wasn't afraid to come and sit on my lap and tell me things. I couldn't understand her language but she was telling me, all the same. I love Baby Azzy. I love her Momma more. Don't tell.

When it was time to leave Baby Azzy was all decked out in her bunny coat. She has a spell cast over her Momma and her Daddy and now me, too.

When she grows up she will be whatever she decides to be. Her momma is a fabulous writer with unique language twists, just what children will love to read. Her daddy is a rocket scientist, really he is. Works on all things that go to, and return from, outer space.

And this wee person, well, she can grow up to be whomever she wants. And I know she will.

We can all do this. We can be whomever we decide to be. Even if we are old and moldy or if we are brand fresh. It's amazing, the power of intention we have.
