Happy Birthday Anna 2009

There was trouble with the scanner and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get this post ready in time. In that case the Bill Moyers video (now deleted) would have been the only offering on your birthday. I know you like him too, so maybe that would have been sufficient. Happily, however, Katy solved the scanner problem and all is well.


This is my very favorite picture of you as a young lass. I love its softness and sweetness. It makes all those warm parental feelings come rushing back.

You are a great mother; your children are wonderful. You actually -- in spite of what you seem to believe -- have a warm and inviting home. You are bright and compassionate and I like the way you think. You are still, as always, a very satisfactory daughter

On this, your natal anniversary, I wish you all the very best.

OXO

Anna said...

Thank you to both of you. I love you very much. Thanks for having me. You are most satisfactory parents.

Happy Bursday Anna! I hope that all of your romantic british dreams come true! (I know that you secretly wish rob would whisper sweet nothings in your ear and then whisper sing to you the most loving boy band song you ever heard in a british accent!)

Happy Birthday! It's amazing how much Lu looks like you.

I second the motion. Anna, you are also a more than satisfactory sister-in-law and friend. I'm so glad Rob married you, I can't imagine our family without you in it.
