Dear Jacqui,

Okay, so at first I thought "why does Jacqui have a picture of a potatoe in the oven?"  Is this what her MIL served for Christmas dinner?  :)

But now...

What the bleep!? 

Way to go!  (Umm... Brad that is)

Yay!  Yay!  Yay!  Can't wait to hear all about it... except not really ALL... just MOST.  I am so happy for you friend (and somewhat wonder if that means I will have my own announcement next week... being life doubles and all)



Did I mention that I am thrilled for you?!  'Cause I AM.

Love, Jen

Dear Jen,

Oy.

Christmas

Dear Jacqui,

This is what discussions about Christmas look like at our house.

Me - "Hey Zach... Do you think it will be fun if Auntie comes to our house & we decorate Christmas cookies together?"
Zach "Yeah... but it would be more fun if we went to Noba Scoship for Christmas."
Me - "Oh... well I think that Nova Scotia is a bit too far for us to go to for Christmas... And Evelyn is actually going to be in Ontario... What if we convince Daddy to take us to E-town instead?"
Zach - "Yeah... or maybe he could just take us to Ontario."

Love, Jen

Pickles served with a side of Nuts.

Dear Jen,

The creativity of three-year-olds never ceases to impress.

Idea #43 for getting Zach and Evelyn back together: "Mommy, our house is very cold. Zach's house is warm. I want to live at his house."

Now wouldn't it be hilarious if, while we were moving there to be in your warm house, you were in the process of moving here so Joel could go to school in Nova Scotia! That'd be a real pickle, that'd be.

Love,

Jacqui
