Aunt Puppy

Aunt B came to Macon for a brief visit on Friday. My sister has made it her mission to adore my children. They adore her in return. Julia, my suspicious and anxious second-born, had no ability to withstand Betsy's charms. She tried. She buried her head in my leg and clutched Craig's arm, but Betsy won her over. By the time B departed (a short twenty hours after arrival) Julia was snuggled in her arms, kissing her check, and caressing her arm.
