As I am sure many of you have
already heard...the exciting news I wanted to share with you is
the birth of our beautiful angel child: Autumn Esmerelda
at the end of May.
I was pregnant all through the US tour and through the recording
of our
new CD : Autumn Sky.
It has been a very exciting journey for our family, with both
cats
being very supportive, though they were a bit disappointed to
find
that the crib and new furniture wasn't for them after all.
Still they are wonderful big brothers
looking after their new little sister and watching over her as she sleeps.
Though I did take some specific
pregnancy photos to remember this incredible time in my life,
here is one casual photo
from Ritchie's birthday party I thought you might enjoy.
I am just absolutely breathless at the presence of this
beautiful child.
She has the eyes of an old soul, a gentle spirit...always
observing what's going on around her. I thought I was blessed by
being able to perform in castles and play and create music that
I love and share it with all of you- but I never would've
imagined I could get so much joy out of one toothless smile; one
giggle in her sleep, and just listening to her breathe at night
brings tears to my eyes. Pure innocence...I am treasuring each
and every moment...
Of course, she loves music!
When we were recording the cd I had to do a 9 piece renaissance
woodwind ensemble while 9 months pregnant! Its amazing when you
can do when the answer "no" isn't an option... :)
So, now whenever I sing for her or Ritchie plays his guitar, she
breaks
into a huge smile.
You will see a special dedication to her within the pages of the
new cd...and it is named for her as well as inspired by her....
My precious little golden child...
