dear norah

We went to Cali last week. Amy and Jeremy went on a 15 year anniversary trip and we stayed with Mackenzie, Emma, Josh and Eliza for 4 days, while they were gone. Then we enjoyed a few days with Amy and Jeremy, when they returned, before we came back to Chicago. It was so fabulous. I always feel so refreshed after visiting the Jaggis in Cali. The nature which surrounds their home is sacred feeling. The company is also sacred feeling.
You loved playing with the kids, and they loved playing with you. You were trying to be big like Eliza and Josh, it was so cute. You also cut your two top teeth while we were there. So now, you have cute little teeth stubs up there. You have 5 teeth, bug! That is awesome. You have started clicking them together- hilarious. While we were in Cali, you were so loving and gave kisses to all the kids and Aunt Amy. You loved playing with Uncle J. He loved playing with you. You are a light in everyone's life who meets you. Here are a few pictures of our trip:




You were all smiles- the whole trip.



The kids covered themselves with blankets and
started gathering around you. At first you
thought it was funny; then they crowded around
you and you started to think it was creepy. Let's
be honest, it was. The kids were so excited to
have you there.



Here you are playing with Josh's helicopter and
trucks. You were so excited to have new toys
to plya with. you were particularly drawn to the
cars and blocks. Anytime we piled up blocks, you
had to knock them over immediately, as fast as
possible. It was a fun game for all of us.

You and I have been to Cali 3 times now (once
when you were in my belly) :)
love you,
mommy
