Little J,
It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon. Sophie, Jack, Tessie, Tallulah and Riley are all inside nice and comfy…sleeping the day away. I’m sure you are at your house sleeping…eating…sleeping…eating and settling into your new life. It’s strange that I’m not on the edge of my seat, where I’ve been for so long wishing and hoping that your parents find you and bring you home… and all is well. All is well is a strange feeling! I’m not used to it. Of course there is always something to stress about…but it seems that my thoughts have been so tied up in you for so long that I’m missing worrying about it a little bit. Not that I want to worry about it…but you need to know that you have been on so many other peoples minds in addition to your parents, for so long, we’re just not used to being free from the job of willing you here. I’m sure your parents have dreamed about this kind of day for so long…just hanging out at home with you, as a family, just being. How simply perfect is that!
I saw my dad for the last time a year ago this week. He was in the hospital. A place he didn’t want to be. I wonder if he knew it was the last time we’d see each other. I stayed as long as I could. In fact I couldn’t fill the rental car with gas so they charged me $89 when I returned it. Oh well. I’d pay $89 again to have another hour with my dad. No matter how old you get, you always want your parents by your side. I know mine are with me in spirit but it sure would be nice to really see them again. So hold tight while you can little one. Time flies in a blink of an eye!
Love,
Auntie JJ

Auntie Janet,
You are my very favorite Aunt. I know how hard you worked to help me find my parents...thank you!Thank you for all the wonderful gifts you have brought for my parents and me. Geeze you are amazing! My all time favorite things are the onesies with the Beatles, Peace, Obama, Einstein, and Love. You can be my personal shopper any time. And I must say thanks for making my parents look like the coolest parents with their peace sign diaper bag! Mom lets Dad carry sometimes too. Way to go Auntie.
I slept in my crib for the first time this morning, marking my 4 weeks in this world. Mom put me down early this morning for 1 minute after she was feeding me in that room so not to wake my Dad up, and apparently I just feel asleep so she left me. Then she decided to try it for my naps today and it works. No sheets or bedding and my room is a mess, but I am liking the "crib."
I could never have imagined a nicer more supportive, more generous Auntie than you. Boy I knew I was lucky when I met my parents but I'm even luckier cause of you.
I love you- Jaiden
