First let me say that my spinster status is secure if I never leave Michigan. I have not had a date or spent time alone with an available man in 4 months. Unless you count my trip to Paris with Joel, but since I paid him for his services, it would more appropriately fall under the category of professional escort. And considering that nothing happened, a poor one at that. Good thing I learned some photography skillz. Yeah - no dates.
Since I have no dates, I am always available to babysit for my sister and brother. Lucky them. On Friday I babysat for Shawn and Lisa. Keely (their 5 year old) and I decided to make a card for Jessica - Travis' girlfriend.
After she drew a lovely Bride and groom, I asked her what message she wanted me to write to Jessica on the card. This is what she came up with:
"Jessica,
I hope you have a good time being our aunt. I hope you don't feel left out at any time. Ever.
From, Keely"
An interesting and thoughtful message. I wonder if she feels left out a lot or if she just inherently understands the gauntlet we make all potential family run through before acceptance is assured?

My guess is that there will be times that Jessica wishes she would be left how- Right Lisa, Amy and Abram.
Cute. I love reading about Keely... such a darling, clever girl. I've heard much about Jessica too, but this is the first photo I've seen. Since I never see Travis anymore I'll pass along my congratulations to him through you!
