A is for Annabelle


Is for Annabelle

I'm joining my friend Jenny Matlock in her new 26 week alphabet course. Though I've a good many alphabet books on my bookshelves and at first thought that I might use them for my post today, I decided instead to share the exciting news of the birth of my precious grand niece, Annabelle Fay, who arrived January 17, 2010. This bundle of joy, surprised us a month early.



At 5 pounds 4 ounces, Annabelle is tiny but healthy. Here she is in her mommy's arms, just two hours old.



The miracle of life is an Amazing sight to behold.

You'll find more Alphabe-Thursday participants here.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.
