Squeals of Delight

Today was one of those days where packages brought squeals of delight. First, my book arrived for final proofing (that's the word I couldn't remember!). And then, the custom order I've been working on since the beginning of July showed up. I honestly don't know which made me squeal louder—the book that turned out absolutely perfect, or the 36-inch Annie the Porcupine stuffed animal.

The best part, though, was watching my grandbaby's reaction. The moment he saw Annie sitting there, he ran straight to her, took her for a walk, and even had a little conversation with her. It was a reminder of just how cute he is—and confirmation of what I already believe: Annie will spark that same joy in everyone who meets her.

Right now, everyone in the Neumann/Campbell household can't get enough of her.
