The Letter

Today, while I was getting ready, Lilly was downstairs busy "writing" and preparing a letter for her long lost friend Jordie. She found all the materials herself and wasn't even aware that I was taking pictures. While she was working she was talking about her letter that she was going to send. It was totally adorable.
She was cutting up a "Where have you been???" letter from the dentist and using Daddy's Brooks Brothers receipt envelope to put the letter in. She has always been very resourceful.




I was upstairs when I heard her heading to the front door. I ran down with my camera and caught a glimpse of her leaving with the letter.
She was on a mission.
It had to make it to Jordie on the Cape.





When we got home today I pulled the mail out of the mailbox and Lilly climbed up on the bench to see if the mailman took her letter. Then she said, "My letter make it to Jordie?" and I assured her "Yes, it sure will."

Lilly is one happy little girl that we will be going to Cape Cod in ten days for a visit with Jordie and his new baby brother Ryan. I cannot wait to capture their reunion and to see my friend Stephanie. I know we're going to have a lot of fun watching our kids play and enjoy one another like the good 'ol days.
