Over Christmas, cousin Ava brought her "daddy doll" with her to visit Arizona. Daddy, my brother~Joel, is currently stationed in Bahrain. Erin, Joel's wife, explained that any kids that have daddies that have to serve overseas and have to be away from their children for an extended length of time receive "daddy dolls" when they leave. Kyan fell in love with Ava's doll, one, because it was a boy doll~he has been dying for one, two, because it had to do with the army, and three (the most important) it was his Uncle Joe Joe!Auntie Erin did some digging when she returned home to North Carolina and low and behold, she got her hands on another doll for Kyan! She sent it to him on his birthday back in January! Kyan loves his Uncle Joe Joe doll! He sleeps with him every night and Uncle Joe Joe travels with us too!
We can't wait to have the real Uncle Joe Joe back with us in a few weeks! Kyan still remembers what you said Auntie Erin about your next visit, in fact he repeated it the other day while we were driving! He said, "Remember what Auntie Erin told me about the next time that they visit? She said the next time they come back, she is going to bring Uncle Joe Joe with her!" I know Kyan can't wait for you guys to get back here! We hope to be able to spend some time with you on your visit back to Arizona!
WE LOVE YOU UNCLE JOE JOE!

That doll is AWESOME! What a sweet thing for Ava & Kyan to both have.
P.S.-
I thought of my PRIZE for our deal at the party. Will you pllleeeeeaaase help me do a Shutterfly book for Camden's 1st year? It's long over-due, and I want to get something like this done before Nixen comes.
