jasper and her cousin william…
richard’s brother-in-law, john, and his daughter, lindsay, were down for thanksgiving this year and lindsay brought william.

kitty, kitty!
after eating (way too much) and visiting with richard’s family, we headed over to mom’s place.
if you ask jasper, we went over there specifically for her to love on neena and the kitty (which doesn’t have a name yet, it is just “kitty”). the funny thing is that the kitty didn’t mind at all – [...]

The Hat (again)…
jasper lilith had my hat on again while she was playing with her barn…
i don’t know what it is but the combination of that big hat on her head really hits me in the right spot… i love it!
this is where jasper starts to complain, “momma, no mouh pichtures, ok? i busy.”
and this is where [...]
