There was a dog who swallowed a present

I about strangled the dog....Here is what happened. (in a nutshell...) This lovely gift arrived via the postman. It wasn't able to fit into our mailbox, therefore the mailman toodled up the drive and dropped on the the step. He didn't ring the doorbell, just dropped it on the step. Nevermind we have this curious puppy of a dog, Eddie, who'll thoroughly check out anything left on the ground or close to it. He got to my package before I did. He spread it from the front step down the entire drive! Stupid dog! When I found it...I couldn't tell what it was. I picked up a piece here and there and wondered what on earth it could have been and whom it was from. One piece said Huhta siblings...another was a partial cover to the book...then the book....then my blood pressure went wacky. The last item found was a card congratulating Brent and I on our newest little one, from my brother Keith and his wife. Throughout the afternoon, I'd see more pieces in the yard. I think I found everything. Did I Kim? Another story for the baby book!

Oh my! Now I'm ready to strangle your dog! Hee, hee. Um, yeah I think you got everything. The paci holder, the book, the shirt, the blankie and the bunny. Uh, poor bunny! Maybe all for the better now that I see those button eyes in a new light. Serious choking hazard? Yeesh.
Hope the kids liked the book - the guts were okay, eh? Harrison was quite horrified that I sent it off to you. Maybe he'll get his own copy in the Easter basket.
So happy Judas, um JARED is hale and hearty. I'll bet he's bigger than Eloise already. It will be so fun to introduce them to each other.
Miss you.
