Certain things happen that just put everything else into perspective. Like this little miracle:

I never used to understand what the hell people were talking about when they'd coo over a baby and say "she has your eyes!". But now I do.

Fiona has the Donovan chin, and—poor thing— she'll probably end up with the Donovan stare as well.

I'll have to see if I can dig up a good example of the Donovan Stare. I just discovered that Quick's scanner has been sitting on top of a pile of books in our bedroom. I've relocated it to my overcrowded study.

Queenie, my brother's wife, gave birth to her two months early. I was worried, but both mother and daughter seem to be doing fine.

Welcome, Fiona!
