A Package from Colorado Springs

This is how I first saw Jess this morning. Riding her birthday scooter in her PJs. Using your tongue helps you go faster. Yes, she still loves her "sleeping cap". Forever thanks to Kim. Later in the day she took it--scooter--outside for the first time and now it has to stay in the garage.


We went swimming for the first time in at least a month after school. It's important to note the swimming to explain the hair. When we came back and checked the mail, Jess got two pieces of mail to open! First was a letter from her girl cousins in Golden, CO. She had to share since only one of the 3 letters inside was addressed to her. But there was also a birthday box.

The first thing she opened had little pants inside. Can you see the delight sparkle in those eyes? She wanted to run and get George, but the lure of another package to open. . . .

A George book! Good thing she stayed. She will read it to him for bed tonight.

There was a monkey coloring craft kit. This has truly been the year of monkeys.

George is so sweet in his new clothes. And notice her new headband too. Fits great! Both girls were impressed and want to see if they can make some too.
