footnote to baby Mairn

i meant to say not only that i am fond of your 5 uncles, (who now, because of you, will forever be uncle rutledge, uncle andrew, uncle dayne, uncle abram, and uncle drayton,) but that i am also fond of your dad, who will one day be someone's uncle roman. and then of course there is your "pops." 

my dear granddaughter, you are giddily welcomed by an elite but growing minority of women in this nuclear family, that right now comprises  your aunt claire, aunt michel, aunt jen, your mom, and me.  hmmm, i wonder if aunt jen still wants to be called crawdaddy?
