Teresa -- Just looking around




Teresa and Margerita

Teresa and Margerita took their first breaths early in the afternoon. Like all of us, they screamed upon feeling the new air inside them, and realized that they were hungry. Especially Margerita who ate her fill and fell asleep at Anita’s side. Teresa fussed a bit more, not quite sure what she was supposed to do. But her eyes were wide open, looking at her four uncles, and Marcello. Perhaps she wondered what the excitement was about. All our incomprehensible jabber. At any rate there seemed too much going on for her to want to feed or sleep. Anita didn’t stop smiling, though she was too tired to say very much. The long awaited day was here.
