Now play quietly. The youngest member of the pit crew and I are sleeping.
Okay, it is not really a picture of me and my youngest pit crew member. She did spend the night here in Lilydale and I did just change her diaper before I posted this. She is 7 months old and has the best smile to wake up to, even if she was a little stinky. I have her until noon and then she is off to melt other hearts for Christmas.
Thank you to all who posted messages and sent PMs about yesterdays post.
Merry Christmas to all!
