Magical moment 299, "Welcome, Gabby"

Eddie and I are the proud Aunt and Uncle of a new baby niece! This is what our 4 year old nephew said of his new baby sis...


Admiration and wonder filled the air.
All gathered round the new baby with care.

Brand new were her feet, fingers, and toes.
Delicate and small were her eyes, mouth, and nose.

“She looks like an angel,” cried mom with delight.
“A beautiful doll, so perfect and right.”

“She looks like her daddy,” another one said.
“The spitting image, from her feet to her head.”

Big brother looked at the bundle of pink,
And somebody asked him, “What do you think?”

He crinkled his nose and thought for a bit.
Being an honest young boy, he had to admit,

He knew she would change once she got big,
But right now he said, “She’s pink, like a pig!”

That is one hundred percent exactly what he said to me on the phone. I can't wait to see him and his two little sisters soon.

Out of the mouths of babes... Priceless (I suspect he'll be reminded of this comment at opportune moments for the rest of his life)! It is wonderful to be a "new" aunt and uncle, isn't it? Congratulations!!
Probably not the worst thing he'll say to her in her lifetime. Congrats on the new baby in the family.

Out on the Prairie - Thank you and I see from your blog that you're from the Midwest as well?! I'm from Nebraska. :) Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Esther. I don't consider it poetry, so much as throwing together words that rhyme. lol.

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty.  And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le

Magical Moment 606, "Thank You Canada!"

After an intense week as a participant in the  Musician's Mentorship Program  with Canada's National Ballet School in Toronto, I am back in the good ol' US of A. The trip was a success, not only did I learn a TON in the program, but I got to see Canada for the first time, increasing my number of countries visited to 3! (Mexico and South Korea, if you're wondering about the other 2). I was surrounded by incredibly talented musicians who didn't hesitate to dish out their best advice, tips, and secrets to me. In addition, I was surrounded by some beautiful scenery and amazing sights. The trip got even better when Eddie flew out to meet me half way through the week, and even BETTER when I was able to meet up with a friend, known only through the blogosphere until now. Yes ladies and gentlemen,  Hilary of The Smitten Image  herself happens to live only minutes from where I resided in Toronto. I admit, it was a little like meeting a celebrity. I first "met" Hi
