Dedication

To Mimi. I know you would have loved a houseful of little ones just like Mama. Well, maybe not exactly like Mama. . .

To Dana. Research diva and real live Trahan. You are such a special gift from God. Merci bien et Dieu te beni. Celebrate the beginnings. . . .

And to Janice Thompson, aka Janice the Magnificent, who critiqued this manuscript faster than I wrote it. Long may you rule!

Finally, to my children, Josh and Andrew, who are Cajuns by birth, and Jacob and Hannah, who are Texans for the same reason. Like Cleo and Tante Flo, I do love my babies! You are my heroes!
