Beetle is my daughter.

She is my first-born. She’s bright, fashionable, lovely, and all those other good adjectives. She also has that temper streak from my side of the family. Woo hoo! It keeps things interesting. 

She is a reader and a writer. She excels at school. She is so thoughtful she keeps her father on his heels. She examines everything. I wonder where she gets that from . . .
