J! (since that's the only letter Declan knows)

Love your blog... we need to get you some pictures of you hanging with your friends.

I hope you, Momma Jenny and Momma Lucia have a wonderful holiday, we'll miss!

Make sure you get plenty of rest before you come back to school so you can tell us ALL about everyone who came to visit.

hugs n kisses,
Sarah, Deck and the rest of the too kool skool krew!
