Visit from DeeDee

Janet (Aaron's mother) was here for a long weekend visit. She and Juniper had a fantastic time together.

Reading "the big yellow book." This is Sally's tattered childhood copy of Richard Scarry's Funniest Storybook Ever. It's larger than most of her books and has a yellow cover, hence Juniper's name for the book. It's one of her very favorite books right now. She'll often ask us to talk about stories or characters from the book. ("Talk about Uncle Willy was a monster." "Talk about Sergeant Murphy/Huckle/Tanglefoot." She doesn't seem to have picked up on the fact that Lowly Worm is the star.)



Did we mention that it's one of Juniper's favorites? Janet happily spent much of her visit snuggled up on the couch reading and re-reading the big yellow book.
