Hope, age 6

Hope turned six this past weekend and this prompted me to look back at her baby pictures.  Then I found a few of the day she was born- or rather, the day after, since she was born just a few minutes before midnight. Charlie and I look so young, I can only reason that being an Auntie or an Uncle has aged us.  That must be it, right?

Now, Hope is six and as of her birthday, has pierced ears.  Most the time, Scarlett says Hope is her best friend.  Sometimes it's me, or Charlie, or Arnie.  But usually it's Hope.  Having cousins is nice.
