 s also likes her old-new ipod.

 b opening his big gift.

 the complete collection of bob dylan's music from 1960-2012. (he has been listening to it a lot over the past few weeks.)

 he looks real good in them.

 s opening the complete collection of dr quinn, medicine woman.

 monkey jar plants?! b got me two. i couldn't believe it!
