Happy Birthday, George!...and Nora!

Last Saturday night, I began this blog posting.  I was going to mention that it was George Washington’s birthday.  And I was going to tell you about how I pulled my cherry pie filling out of the freezer, where it’d been since last summer and baked a cherry pie for my family.

And I did do all those things.  And then I leaned back, licking my lips, and proclaimed, “I love George Washington’s birthday!” And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Felicity called and said, “Come down to the hospital and meet your newest granddaughter!”

Teeny-tiny Nora and George Washington share a birthday!  She arrived weighing 6 lbs., 2 0z. and was 18 1/2″ long.  Details about George Washington’s actual birth are unknown.  But he couldn’t possibly have been this cute!

Welcome to the world, Nora!  Welcome to our family!
