01/04/2009 - Today is my niece's ninth birthday. She's not the girl in the photo, but I should post a photo of her... I wanted a picture from the day she was born or from her day today in which my sister took her little girl on a carriage ride through Central Park and to the American Girl store, which when I was 9 would have had me rolling in delight. Alas, I have none. What I have is a beautiful goddaughter that makes me laugh everytime I see her. I have a intelligent goddaughter who is a holy terror to everyone except the people who love her. She's not a replacement, but she does make me happy to have so many awesome kiddos in my life. I am truly blessed.
