Joe betrays Arkansas, heads for New Zealand

Hey everyone,
I went home this weekend and had a really great time. Ashur and I drew a lot of pictures. He drew one of me where I'm giant, and yellow, and look like a pregnant alien. I guess I need to try harder to lose weight. I listened to 6 hours of a book on tape. I ate a lot of my mom's homemade pizza, and I got all my reading done for school. Jed is starting to talk. He can say papa, nana, mama, ball, bite, bottle, ashur, and uh-oh. He also is a regular bull-in-a-china closet. He currently has 4 knots on his forehead from running into walls, falling off chairs, bumping into table tops, and tripping straight into the floor.
David got me a nightstand for Valentines Day. This is good, because I was actually using a cardboard box labeled "books" for the past 5 months. Joe is heading to New Zealand tomorrow. I had a great time at his going away party on Friday. We'll miss you, Joe!
