Does that just not say it all. LOVE IT!
We also received a hippo carving:
...which goes only too well with my other soapstone hippo:
Hippo and Child
And lastly, written responses to the letters Jimmy "wrote" to the kids at Newstart.
Priceless
Each of these is packed with personality, it is unreal. These kids are so well spoken and surprisingly introspective and present themselves with a level of class that I am certain is not taught in our American schools. As I read them aloud I knew they were something special, but it really came true when Wally started picking them up and also reading aloud. Just magical, many thanks to these selfless folks who travel on their own time and dime to help out. These gifts have made my week!
