Fingers & Toes

I have created a new flickr album with only pictures of Ella Mae's fingers and toes. I love it! When I was in high school I read Beloved by Toni Morrison. There is a part that talks about how a mother can always recognize the hands of her baby; they are unique and unforgettable. I always remembered this for some reason, and have thought about it often over the years. Now every time I look at Ella's hands I think of this, and commit each tiny detail to memory.
