Welcome to the World, baby Abigail! A belated Welcome to the Board to David from Scribbler, who is more "Stranger to the Board" than you.(Board members, reading this, immediately think, "Scribbler is, and ever shall be, stranger than anyone. Oh, well)
Clarification from Bridget -- As you know, AWADers are particularly keen about precision of expression. Cara Dea, did you mean, speaking of your third child, "third, and last" or merely "third, and latest". (All in fun, he, lamely, seeks to explain.)

I have no idea what my own first words were. Looking back from the perspective of these years, I wish I could have said something for the ages. High up on my present list is, "Thank you, Madam, the agony has sensibly abated." Where is esprit d'escalier when one needs it - but then, that's the paradox.
Enough now, for me, of FIRST words, which are as last week's newspapers. Let's talk of the LATEST words with David and our other Boarders, words that will both de-light us and en-light-en us.
