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.
