**Giggle**

"The son of a Carthagenian general" fitting "nice and snuggly" in your suitcase gave me a serious fit of the giggles just now.

Thanks for the update on Jayson, Telima. Bummer about him not feeling like coming out--I can't blame him, it's nice and warm and dark and mostly quiet in there. But he'll have a lot more room to stretch on the outside--and we're so excited to meet him. Remind me on the due date again? I keep getting mixed up with all the boy birthdays we have this time of year.

But if he doesn't feel like coming till later, don't you worry, LaDale! I will seriously jump in my van (hee hee, I love love love my van) and drive down to get you from Las Vegas if Mema is still up north taking care of Telima and babes. Wouldn't that be a hoot? When is your flight, anyhow?

And it's Christmastime, it's Christmastime!
