Age Six, with the trademark smile that makes life worth living.
All grown-up, and still with that smile!Older daughter turned twenty-one at 1:34 a.m. today. I recognized her birthday here (2006), here and again here(2005) To this very day, her birth remains one of the greatest experiences in all my life. She's heading homeward today! Happy birthday to my wondrous "earthquake girl" !!!
WHEN I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.’
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
‘The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.’
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.
A.E. Houseman (1859-1936)

She's gorgeous!! A very happy birthday to your daughter!!
Your heart must swell when you look at that face. She's such a beauty. Roger and I celebrated our 15th anniversary yesterday. We got married on the anniversary of the earthquake because it made the day easy for Rog to remember. Who could ever forget that? Hope you are having a grand time with your daughter.
Oh My Gosh, Annie. What a beautiful daughter you have - a wondrous smile, indeed.
Happy Birthday to your daughter, and her Mom!
