A Handful of Nursery Rhymes for Mary Ellen

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I just came back from visiting my very good friend at the hospital. She gave birth to her first child, a beautiful baby girl named Mary Ellen. For some reason, when I think of newborns, I think of <a href="http://www.rhymes.org.uk/index.htm">nursery rhymes</a> and Mary Ellen actually has some framed nursery rhymes in her nursery so this post of nursery rhymes is a very fitting dedication to Mary Ellen. xo</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div
