Oh Jessica... that is such a beautiful story!
Squeak, honest to goodness when I read your post I thought, "A "stuffed moose"? That must be something you eat. Some sort of cream puff dessert."
Mauvais, I HATE being gawped at! It's disgusting. "Look into my eyes and love me for my soul. Or SCREW OFF!!"
I LOVE all of your happy stories, girls. They make me feel all warm inside.
I was walking down the street the other day and my sister drove by with a friend. Sis told me afterwards that her friend said, "My gosh! Look at Ellis! She's lost a TON of weight!"
