Two years ago yesterday, that delightful little package of energy known as Genevieve Elizabeth Manise was placed into her mother's arms.
She screamed.
I handed her to her father.
Juliette howled.
Evie howled.
Juliette howled louder.
This momentous occasion was a lesson in the value of earplugs, and was chronicled in dueling banjos a few days later.
What would our world be like without Evie? We cannot imagine. She is as amazing and chirpy as ever. A complete and total blessing - for which we are eternally grateful.
