jasper and her papa…

i was drawn into our bedroom by the sound of a little girl squealing and giggling (i don’t know anybody who could resist those sounds and if they could resist, well, then i wouldn’t want to know them) and what did i see?  jasper being tossed into the air, up and down, up and down, [...]
