Natalie

If you're one of the three people who read my blog, you might be expecting me to write something about the Iowa caucuses. But I have something happier to write about. Yesterday, my niece Natalie was born.

Poor Natalie -- she's already being compared to her big sister Ella. When Ella was born, she had long, dark eyelashes, but hardly any hair on her head. Natalie is just the opposite; she has lots of dark hair on her head, but hardly any eyelashes.
