Tickled to be here!

This Red-haired Wonder came on the heels of a brother.

 

  Eager to be greeted,

 but claiming her own,

 

 

 making up her own mind when to cuddle, 

 

to sleep, 

 

to smile

 

                                                 to worry

to flirt, 

to advance forward

to relax

  

 or to laugh

 Anna savors life 

  

 

 like she savors her mouthfuls.

This Friday,  while her parents reviewed Provo's Pride and Prejudice, Anna and her brother got to hang out at Grandma Great's house, with Grand Auntie Marlene.  Anna took in cheeks-full of cottage cheese but showed little interest in moving the mountain therein downward.  Her "Mary Poppins" CNA Grand Auntie felt concern--understanding hazards of choking.  Marlene related the miracle that happened when Grandma Verla offered a small bit of mandarin orange to chase the rest down. 

Then Great Grandma Verla told us about tickling little red-haired girl.  When Marlene would finish the tickling, Anna would reach toward Auntie's hand to bring it back to her tummy.  "Do you like tickling?  "Uh huh," This would be affirmative!"

We are tickled to have, to know and to love a rose colored pearl, even if she totes a little red atop. 

What would we do without our Red-haired Wonder?
