I planned to painstakingly attempt to write today about Mouse. But after reading Juliana's blog, I'm sure there's nothing more to add. Check it out here:

I did go back and look in her baby book today, the one I started when she was born that has four pages finished in it. Hence, the need for this blog where I might actually preserve some memories.
This I wrote about her birth:
Carolina Rae Jones came into our lives at 11:19 pm on September 28th, 2005. She was tiny and angry and beautiful. She made a triumphant entrance amidst medical concern, and entered into our family. After she was thoroughly checked out, all of the medical people left and it was just the three of us...me, Birch and our new daughter. How can we ever be thankful enough for this blessing? I held her as the whole city was dark outside our window and memorized her. I inhaled her. She smelled of the ocean. She clutched at my finger with tiny fingers that seemed impossibly strong. She knew me and I knew her. It was as if it was the way things had always been.
