or on a couch – either way, they are quite the pair…
jasper likes to put her hands in our mouths (a security thing?) and she was lying on his chest for a while just staring off into space with her hand sitting in his mouth…i walked into the living room and saw them both on [...]

one of the things that jon and i got jasper lilith was a stuffed giraffe…she picked it out herself and wouldn’t let go of it in the store – it is close to her size and weighted so that it stands up on its own which means it is pretty funny to watch her lug the [...]

mom bought jasper this really cool toy…it is a xylophone-ball dropping-musical thingey – ok, so it is hard to explain but trust me when i say two things: 1) it makes alot of noise and 2) jasper loves it!

another favorite stop? the zoo!!
we couldn’t let mimi and pawpaw leave without the zoo experience so on a less windy and not too chilly day, we took them out to our favorite wandering place…it was fun but it was cold enough that many of the animals and way too many of the birds were put up for the winter…our bird aviary was [...]
