Precious

The boys had a great time at the state pinewood derby this weekend. They enjoyed staying in the hotel and meeting new friends. However, they didn't win a thing.
But while they were gone, a big package arrived for Alex. As tempting as it was to rip it open without him, we waited.
Alex and his GREAT Aunt Juanita, who lives in Maine, have been writing letters back and forth to each other for a couple of years. This big package contained the latest letter and a really precious gift. She made him this big flannel quilt. Each letter of his name is quilted into the middle squares.
 
Of course his mama cried and immediately took that precious letter and tucked it into his box of baby stuff.
Aunt Juanita should be expecting her next letter VERY soon.
