DA BOOK
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Da Momma: Elizabeth, a journalist and college instructor. Formerly a latte-slinging, cell phone-talking Washington political junkie. Now a wild-dancing accidentally offensive woman with an irrational passion for flinging things on the floor and hanging things from ceilings. Wants you to think she's a grown-up, even though she calls her Dad the minute things get complicated.
Baby Eden: The Schmoopy. My sweet little Three, who shrank instead of grew. But she's always had Momma's back.
Mary: Devoted to hermit crabs and FREAKING OUT. Made me a mother.
Karenna: Peekaboo Streak. The Roodle, Doodley. Everybody knows about Roo. Passionate about folk music. Some werewolf tendencies. Always looking for new employees. Sophisticated vocabulary
Cute Husband, Esq: A former Marine, it was he who instilled in our daughters a love of getting up very early in the morning to go off and do things. Some days he's lucky he's still alive.
Moonbeam and Sunbeam: Yes, okay, somehow or other they got the same sorta names as our cats, Moonlight and Sunshine. That was a total accident. However, like the cats, they are super-cuddly, will get food for themselves if hungry, and they're part of the family. Like the rest of the family, they believe in the power of liquor, drugs, and hot glue. They have no fear of blood.
The Beasties: Two cats. And some cacti that refuse to die. This is a picture of a fish we killed a long time ago. Need to update that.

AWWWWW!!! Delicious!! Could just kiss those sweet little cheeks to pieces!
Congrats again.
Ahhh newborns! Their eyes carry a look of an ‘old soul’, wise and quietly observing all. Contemplating how to best to approach the new situatuion they find themselves in. I wonder what she’s thinking….

Don’t forget to update the posse blurb on your sidebar.
“Three friends, 6 years, EIGHT KIDS…”
Welcome Eden. You are already loved and surrounded by friends.
I think that my uterus just reached up and throttled me around screaming, “GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE NOOOOOOOW, WOMAN!”
So, yeah. Thanks for that.
Seriously though. She’s *gorgeous*. The downy hair! The soulful eyes! The cheeks! OMG THE CHEEKS!…Crap, there goes my uterus again…
