Friends' new baby

Last weekend we visited some very good friends who live in a special spot with beautiful gardens. Our older daughters are close friends and schoolmates, and the mom and I talk or text almost every day.

They just had a baby! She is precious and sweet and soft. Ahh... I love that indefinably wondrous aura that newborns have.

The bigger kids filled up on plums, played make-believe games inside the house and out, and held the baby.
