I came home—what was it, a week ago? a month ago?—from my overseas odyssey to a heart-punchingly wonderful package from Brerfly, Mumblelard, and the Skull Girls. I am belatedly chronicling its wonders here in hopes that they will put as large a grin on your gob as they did on mine and K’s.

Especially of note:
(1) Fallie’s monster yelling GOOD LUCK!!!! with bonus FOUR LEAF CLOVER!!!
(2) Finn executed her adorable-food-with-faces with her non-dominant hand whilst the usual one was IN A CAST!!!
