OK, It’s Off-Topic. But Who Doesn’t Like Baby Pictures?

Lifelong friend Jim Price wrote this about his new granddaughter (pictured): Annalee Rose Price, 3:52 yesterday AM (yes a very long night), 9 lbs even, Mom, Dad and baby doing great.

Holy mackerel, Jim, she sure LOOKS like she’s doing great. She’s perhaps the most angelic thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

I also want to remark that she’s an extremely lucky baby to be born into a family of such warmth, sanity and competence.

I actually feel the same way personally, FWIW, having been adopted in late 1955 by Pat and Craig Shields. Every time I think about that, I’m awe-struck by the good fortune I had when I was five months old. Annalee Rose has similarly hit the jackpot.
