Duh, Duh Duuuuuuhhhh!

Dear Jane,
  Today we are going to talk about Aunt Derra. Ahem.. I mean Aunt Duh.

She is basically the coolest person who isn't your mom (or dad) that walks the planet.


This picture was last summer. That's Auntie Chloe, (she's cool... 3rd 4th in line or so.) Mommy, (fun fact: you're in there!!!) and Aunt Duh. (E took the picture and edited it. gosh, she's cool too. 3rd in line or so)

Aunt Duh is my only sister. She's lucky too. Cause I couldn't have handled more than one of HER.

Anytime you do anything naughty, I promise Aunt Duh was worse. Until she got to be 12ish then she got cool. Not right away. But she started to. Then, when she was 14 she frowned in every single picture from Mommy and Daddy's wedding. Ask to see the pictures now. Go, do it. It's funny. Someone I worked with asked me, after seeing our wedding pictures, "Why is that girl so mad?" So I guess it wasn't that she didn't smile it was that she scowled.

Somehow we became best friends! As E put it, no one can make Aunt Duh laugh as loud or cry as hard as I can! (what what!)


She goes to school a few hours away so we don't get to see her as much as we'd like. She's the kind of person you want to see every.single.day. Just so you (I) can annoy her every.single.day.


Not getting to see her everyday means I have to send her pictures of you EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Jane, she loves you LOTS.


And you love her lots! You show her by crying and pooping. She's made you laugh one time that I can recall. I honestly would have thought that you would find her funnier than you do. Maybe it just takes time. But, I think you'll learn that she is quite funny
(looking).



So, let's call this Aunt Duh Appreciation Day!

We love you Aunt Duh!!!



Jane, you're the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Love,
  Mommy!
