Jane

This is my delightful niece Jane.  I have tons of photos of her after our visit, and almost none of the other girls.  Jane is far more cooperative when a camera is in my hands.

She loves animals.  Here she is with Sadie.  I would go into rooms and find her sweetly petting the dog.  Sadie was in heaven with Jules and Jane in the house. 


She does not enjoy being the center of attention.  Here she a bit overwhelmed while we sing "Happy Birthday".
She seems most content when outdoors.   
Even when this is cooking next to her.  Julie and I were a little scared but she did not flinch.
I love you, Janie.  

(More on my other precious niece later.) 

surprise

Nana visited with us in spirit.  She and Papa sent these fabulous packages for the girls.
Here is Jane unwrapping.

All smiles.
Three new monogrammed lunchboxes and toothbrushes.  Toothbrushes were a big hit initially but the lunchboxes had more staying power.  All sorts of things were packed up and hauled around in these beauties.  

Thank you, Nana.

sure miss having three

I sure miss having three girls eating supper,

wearing friendship bracelets (thanks Aunt Julie),
and checking things out.

We had a great visit.  More details later!
