holy cow this was fun!
i tried that dried mango you got. NOT good. it’s like an INSULT to a mango.
how cute is THIS!
these are little business card size magnets ~
oh i can’t wait to see (+ hold!) ‘em!
and look at me developing a little photoshop skill. impressed?
too cute for words i tell you . . .
and speaking of cute words: here’s a new Silver Lining thing.
but first (wait for it) — the background story.
for many years instead of sending a “holiday letter” paul + i enclosed an “overheard” column ~ mostly just stuff our kids said that cracked us up.
we’d email each other conversations we had with the kids and then at year’s end (or sometime within a few months of that) we’d sift and mine. fun times!
i actually had friends call last year and say “got your card, but where’s Overheard?” ~ and well, we didn’t get one enclosed THIS YEAR either . . . so i’m going to start sharing them here. good plan? see, this afternoon on the way home from school, zoe (9) uttered a classic:
here’s to keeping it real!

Jennie - Hee hee…love the quote from Zoe. And LOVE the “Overheard” column…we always said that if we had kids, we’d do something similar, but I don’t know if we’re organized enough to keep track of them. That, and Lucy doesn’t talk yet.
