Frances the Duck!!!

Frances was given a coat the other day, a bright yellow rain-coat. As we were trying it on her I pulled the hood up and it is a duck face with "googly eyes" (Elizabeth phraseology), anyways I started to laugh and told he to go and look in the mirror. The delighted laughter and glee that proceeded from her was like nothing I've ever heard. She wanted to go outside right away but it was warm and sunny. I told her we would need to wait for a rainy day. Later passing by the front stairs there is Frances sitting patiently on the stairs holding her duck coat waiting for the rain. So today she was overjoyed by the dismal weather and spent most of the afternoon outside ---- quacking like a duck. I'm sure if you passed by green gables that is all you would have heard. Her helium voice and the top of her lungs -- quack quack, quack quack!!

Dearest Frances do you know how much joy you bring to your mommy everyday. I love you so much and I'm so glad you're my little girl. I will love you forever and ever thank-you for passing my way.
