Jacoba

Up in Chelsea with my family for the week. My little Cobi has grown up so much since I last saw her. It's all giggles, splashes, investigating beaver dams and s'mores 'round here, a very welcome change from the intensely busy months just passed. There is nothing I like better in the whole world than time spent with my family up here (if only the kitties had joined us this time round).

My beloved baby ham (and sister) Jacoba. She was born 20 years after me, wants to be a champion figure skater (my brother got her her first pair of skates this christmas), loves me third best of all after herself and god, refers to reindeer as "precipitation deers" and her record for not talking is a full 30 seconds.
