nine years old

It's not her birthday yet, but next week it will be, and she's turning nine.

I'm chasing after mosquitoes right here in the bedroom like Jay was the night she was born, whacking them near the ceiling with a towel: "No mosquitoes are going to sting our newborn baby."

A couple days ago when we came home from the lake there was a package waiting for her, and her eyes were huge, "I know what this is!"  It was a doll sent by Jay's parents.  

She lifted her from the box and I said, "She looks just like YOU."

"Yeah, I know. Grandma ordered her that way."

Wow.

She's been carrying her around, practicing braiding hair and doing outfits.

So we took this very happy picture to send to Grandma and Grandpa who live pretty far away, though not as far as some grandparents do.

Thank you guys, for making a kid very happy.  love, Jay and Val and JULIA
