[More discussion that reveals:
1. mom's complete disregard for a teenager's need for her own laptop, or at the least,
2. a teenager's need for a mom who can remember administrator passwords...]

Do you have time to visit Y and Syd this afternoon?
Should bring a gift but I don't know what.
Something for Avry too?

And shortly after, the girls had posted these pictures on their BBM profiles:
Awww!
Tonight Leah and I made it to the hospital a half hour before visiting time was over. I was in such a hurry to get there, that I forgot my camera. Thankfully I have a phone that takes pictures...
We arrived as Avry was about to hold her little sister
Welcome Sydney Gwendolyn!
