at work, my neighbor is jeff and he is great. he's a sounding board and a buddy to walk to the cafe with, and he can always be counted on to goof off when the work stress goes a little overboard. jeff and his awesome wife alicia have two sons who i adore. their oldest and i have a special bond ever since he drew me an amazing picture of our chickens being stalked by a possum. it's priceless. anyway, jeff and alicia are incredible parents, so i have appreciated my friendship with them even more as they offer all sorts of great stories and advice about having a little one.
a couple of months ago, jeff brought us a little gift. it's a book called a friend for minerva louise. minerva louise is a chicken, and in this particular adventure, she discovers that the farmers she lives with have gotten a new "bunny". the bunny is actually a baby, of course, and she goes through the house looking for the bunny amidst all the random baby things that she misinterprets as something else (diaper bag = nest, etc). i am pretty sure this book was written for us and it's the cutest thing ever. emme likes books mostly for chewing on these days, but i think minerva louise has a special place in her heart. it's certainly one of my favorite books to read to her.
