Dear Mom, Dad, and Jessie,
Thanks so much for sending the pictures. I kept one of each and sent two to the McArthurs' and one to Pete's folks. I surely hope you didn't have them all made up into prints since slides of most of them should be quite sufficient - of course, I very much appreciate the prints of Jessica.
Thanks also for the back supporter and spoons, and for the two sleeping garments. They certainly come in handy - one cold evening we had to make a quick trip up to Les and Hope's to return their pickup, so I bundled Jessica in the little sleeping bag and she was warm and snug the whole way.
Jessica attended a horse sale Saturday evening and slept through all the auctioneering, yelling, horses kicking, neighing, etc. She's now eating squash along with her carrots, cereal, and milk.
Pete, Jessica and I went for a nice cart ride around the experiment farm yesterday afternoon. She stayed awake a little while but then fell asleep as per usual.
We got a nice anniversary card from Aggie, Gary, and Gary Franklin. Hope she's had her baby by now and that both are all right.
Love,
Jody
P.S. Haven't received any stationery, yet.
