Happy happy

  • My arrival of my friend Carrie’s baby, the already-sophisticated J. Finnigan. (Weeks ago now, but I’m still happy about it.)
  • Poppy singing “Old MacDonald” to herself while she plays. (“Old MacDonald had farm. E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm — piggies! E-I-E-I-O.”)
  • Buying a present for Rockford.
  • Being invited to our friends’ big BBQ.
  • Poppy saying “I see popcorn!” to suggest that she’d like an afternoon snack.
  • Poppy playing with Marsha, and Marsha playing back rather than high-tailing it upstairs.
  • Chocolate-chip brownies.
  • Poppy requesting “Danny’s Song” over and over again.
  • Our friend Chris’s new Web site.
