Peaches

So I have a niece; she is my best friend's daughter, and I call her Peaches. Thankfully, my friend lives close enough that I can be a regular part of this child's life. She is only 9 months, but has an infectious giggle that can soften even the most curmudgeonly heart. Her blue eyes and smile light up a room. Today, Laura came over with Peaches, and another friend for a nice afternoon of chatting and knitting. Peaches and my dog are now the best of friends. I tell you, I could be having the shittiest day imaginable, but the second I see Peaches, and she sees me and smiles and giggles, I completely forget whatever it is that was troubling me. I love her now, and I can't wait to see the person she becomes. I am looking forward to many years of good times with Peaches and Dotte :)
