. . . sixteen digits . . .

. . . it's been a week now 

since we talked to drew . . .

. . . by the way, 

i'm thinking of starting 

a petition in favor of 

monthly phone calls to missionaries . . .

. . . honestly, is that too much to ask? . . .

{yes, yes it is}

. . .here i am being super perturbed 

that we couldn't figure out 

how to call mexico . . .

. . . here's me being super relieved 

when we finally realized 

there's an extra magic digit 

you need to use 

when calling a cell phone . . . 

. . . here's a really proud dad 

talking shop 

{missionary work, that is} 

with his boy . . .

. . . here's meems overly excited 

to talk to her little bro . . .

. . . here's brent 

{still modeling multiple years worth of christmas eve jammies} . . .

. . . here's one happy mama . . .

. . . enjoying a nice long chat 

and loving every second of it . . . 

{although we can't remember a lot of the particulars of this conversation, it's good to know that 

drew is still hilarious & having wonderful experiences}
