Jake and his new favorite toy

Between trying to get work done before our vacation with Grandma & Grandpa Valentine at the end of this week, and staying out late at a friend's wedding Saturday night, Ralph and I were quite busy this weekend. Luckily, Jake was able to spend a lot of time at Mema Mary and Papa Ralph's house. Jake picked up a new favorite toy, too: a stuffed dog. This has been in his toy box all along, but this weekend he really gravitated toward the doggie. Here are some pictures Mema Mary just sent along.
