On June 10th, we are celebrating the first birthday of my little brother, James Theophilus Andrews. I am writing this to tell the story of his first year of life, and I hope no one will find it dull :) 

James was the fourth of my siblings to be delivered at home by my dad. It started with Matthew. The midwife couldn't get to our house in time, so Pa really had no choice. That was in Jacksonville, Florida.

First, I couldn’t speak. Second, I launched myself at him for a hug-tackle. Third, I stopped short and screamed in terror. Fourth, I followed through on my second impulse, throwing my arms around him like a sister. Fifth, I smacked him with a breathless, “Wygate, you’re alive what happened how could you scare me like that I’m—going—to—kill—you!”

 I just wanted to announce that I have finished my novel, Storm Warning! I am very excited and wanted to share my good news with you.

Hopefully-there are a lot of things and plots that don't make sense and quite a bit of typos, but-if you feel like it, please email me your comments and return soon to see them on one of my next posts!

Thank you for being willing to read this short and incredibly boring post!
