Dear JJ,
A very good friend of ours wanted to get your first baby gift. So she got a pair of fur slippers.
Turns out your mom and I love our fur slippers, so today-- in Anchorage -- we lined them up. Everytime we look at them - we smile. Because we are a family.
Of course Alaska is pretty special to us. It is where I was born and raised, where my dad was, and his mom, and years back. Don't know that you will be born here -- but you were made here.
Great thing about Alaska-- you have a whole lot of aunties and uncles that can't wait to meet you. So I have to wonder-- why do you need slippers-- because from what I can tell you won't need to use your feet-- everyone will carry you.
Especially your dad,
Love, Dad
I love reading your blog...both of them. You are really very eloquent and expressive. This will make a wonderful "book" for JJ someday. Thanks for letting me into your private live. "Catherine Zeta"
