Dear Arianna, March 15, 2013

You were amazed that when we came home this is what we saw:

All 5 cats sitting within a 5 feet radius! No hisses. No chases. They looked at us as if we had surprised them.  We came to soon for them to move to other places.  Even Ian went to his "adoptive father" to be pet and clean while the girls watched.

And you were double surprised because there was a box waiting for you...with your name on it.  It was a box from your Uncle Ron and Titi Evelyn.  You were so excited you could not contain yourself. You love getting boxes in the mail. I mean who really does not love getting something more than bills and propaganda? So, you asked Daddy to please help you open your surprise box.

 Daddy was very excited too because he loves to open boxes as well.  So, he went to the kitchen and got the scissors.  We had no idea what could be in the box.

 She loved the letter and the necklace.  Thank you. She was already making plans of what she was going to do with the letter, and her gift in general.

 "Oh, what is this?" She was a little unhappy when we told her we needed to wait for the weekend to work on the grass seeds. She is in scientific mode.  Curiosity mode... what happens if? (Thank you once again for a lovely surprise.  We should put pictures when we do it!)

And she took a picture of her beloved Turlough's tummy!
