a little gift from Michele

how funny Jeremy looks with this beret on that Michele sent to me all the way from France...

I put it on Levi to see how cute he looks with it, but didn't want to wear it

Michele also sent an apron for me, yummy candies, a key chain, cute outfits for Kaleb and a handkerchief.
Thank you, Michele!
