   Congratulations……Elle is beautiful!!! I believe she will be a concert pianist, or are those long fingers for holding knitting needles at an early age??? I bet she already knows how to knit & was probably knitting in the womb!!! Hmmm………

   I predicted she would be born on my birthday, and she was!!!

   Best wishes to all!!!!
