We were absolutely thrilled when Ike, Meg, JuneBug and Peanut came to visit us after several months of not seeing them!
The morning they arrived, Mumzie got out an old U.S. map we used when Meg, Kate, and I were growing up to show where JuneBug lives and where Pop-um and Mum-mum live!
Drawing a line from his state to our state
Cutie Peanut had gotten even chubbier since we saw him last!
