Capital J

So, Grandma and Grandpa Carpenter came all the way out from California.   Dad says they came because of the new baby.  I’m pretty sure they came to see me.  Here’s green, shiny proof:

I’m now ready to get out and about myself… I even think I look good in the helmet.

Grandma and Grandpa are taking us up to the north today, for some quality time at the horse ranch.  I’ve been practicing locally.  Not to be immodest, but I think I’m quite a showman on the horse…  Otherwise, we’ve just been hanging out a fair bit with our new brother.  He’s alright – and I like the fact that I can palm his head like a basketball.

Mom and Dad say Leighton is doing well.  I think he keeps Mom up a lot, as he’s always hungry – but he seems to be a pretty mellow customer most of the time.  Speaking of mellow brothers — Tristan still has his cast on, but it’s supposed to come off next week.   We’ve had fun while he’s had it though – it’s sort of like having your own personal sketch pad that travels with you wherever you go…

Alright, I have to run.  The car’s loaded and ready to go, and Oliver gets cranky when we make him wait…   Will try to write more when we get back from the dude ranch…  JPC
