Good Mail!

Timing couldn't have been better for a package to arrive at our door. Travis is working and it isn't a school day. Boooooring! What a welcome sight to open the door to a package! I love nothing more than a late birthday present. Even though it wasn't for me. ;) My very thoughtful sis-in-law, Tanya sent us a whole box of goodies. Eve got a whole ensemble (very adorably Hawaiianish) complete with sunglasses and a hat and Veda was ecstatic that there were matching accessories for her. Eve couldn't get into that fluffy skirt fast enough and in no time she was accessorized to the max. She was so excited!

Tanya, you couldn't have sent anything I would have been more excited about than a few Trader Joes gems. If I could wish one store to appear on this island it would be Trader Joes. I am in withdrawal! You read my mind. Thank you so much!





Nothing stirs up those creative juices like having all your toys in storage. This is Veda sitting in her "Spaceship" eating ice cream. She spent a good hour creating this treasure; she even had me sew up a few of her "buttons" (the round dials taped to the front of her spaceship).

Tanya, this was minutes before the package arrived. Impeccable timing!

I can't get over how quickly your little girls are growing! Eve was -crawling- when I saw her last, and Veda looks much older too. (especially in that last photo of her in her vessel-too cute)

Glad you got it! Who doesn't love a good care package? I figure no one deserves a slice of home more than you do. Eve and Veda look so cute. When I saw Eve in April, she was still in the baby phase. In a few short months, she is a little girl! How the time flies! Wish I knew what treat's to send from Trader Joe's. We're still rookies. It looks like I should have sent toys, like all good aunts. Had to laugh out loud at the spaceship. It really will be like Christmas when you unpack your stuff. Missing you guys!!

Veda looks really grown up in that picture with the box - wow! This post made me miss the girls a lot. Give them kisses & loves from me. Did you figure out the fruit leather saga?

I can totally relate to your Trader Joe's withdrawal since we don't have one either. I keep logging on to their website and suggesting my city as the perfect place for one of their new stores. I'll keep you posted on the success of that endeavor. :-)

I love the purse and hat fetish. Your girls are beautiful, with tons of personality. Not a very big surprise coming from you. Sounds like Hawaii is good for you all. Love the Blog!
