one week (+...) since you looked at me...


Miss Evelyn Ann Parks came tumbling into our lives on Wednesday, July 27th, 2011.  She bumped along the construction-riddled road from The Pas to Flin Flon in the back of an ambulance, secure in mom's tummy (who was fully secured to a stretcher).  She then performed her next trick, presenting her derriere instead of her tête to the nurses.  Feet tucked up by her face, she planned to plummet to earth bum-first.  Maybe ungraceful, but certainly a joyful dive.  After an emergency C-section, she came out arms-waving to her adoring crowd.


We didn't even know you, but already loved you.


So, we've spent the past week and a half being fascinated by the little details.  Fragile toes and fingers, screwed-up old man faces, gas-induced smiles that give us hints of the happy faces to come.  We are spell-bound, helpless but to watch her every (helpless) move.

I can't imagine life without her.  We are blessed.
