We were pleasantly surprised when our Marine showed up at home on Valentine's Day. He had gotten leave for the three-day weekend and driven up from Twentynine Palms with a buddy. He also brought a nasty cold with him.
Earlier in the day, we had a lovely time at our grand-niece's first birthday party. She is being raised bilingual--English and sign language--and she expresses herself frequently via signs.
She received a couple of baby dolls for her birthday and, each time, enthusiastically signed "baby." This was very charming and I wanted to illustrate that, but the only picture I could find to show the signing of "baby" features a gorilla; so you'll have to imagine how the sign looks as delivered by a round, blue-eyed, ginger-haired 1-year-old.
