h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My youngest daughter just celebrated her eighth birthday with the usual pomp and circumstance that accompanies such an auspicious day.

She received her heart's desire - those sneakers with the rollers in the heels. She's been after us to buy her a pair all year and has been checking the newspapers for sales. She even has gone up to kids with them and asked where they got them and how much she paid. (She was worried that they were too expensive!)

I can't believe that it's been eight years since she came into my life. What a special little person.

Oh, the joys of having a small person around. Treasure every moment, time goes too quickly.
