One day this week, when Rachel stood up on a kitchen chair to hug me, I said, "How'd I get so lucky to have you as a kid?"
"Maybe that's the way I was born, maybe that's how my body wanted to be, or maybe because you gave that happiness to me," she said seriously.
(sob)

We were discussing the number of kids who would come to her birthday party, and I said I thought there would be 7, but maybe not.
"If anyone else doesn't come, that's OK," she said, "because 7 is plenty."

On the way home from the computer store for what seemed like the thousandth time (it's a half hour drive away), Rachel suddenly said we needed to pretend we were werewolves and coyotes, and howl. Werevolves are in a higher key, coyote in a lower key.
"Werewolves are the melody," she said, "and coyotes are the harmony."
Glad to see all those Sweet Adeline rehearsals and performances are paying off!!
