Travis just got back from a business trip to Brazil and Argentina and we were all so happy to see him. It didn't hurt that he brought us presents! I got fun earrings. Merryn got a funny pig puppet...
...but JoJo's gift was the most celebrated of them all. Unparalleled in it's magnificent splendor, it captured Josie's heart instantly.
It's the one thing she never knew she always wanted: a buck-toothed doll that flails about while singing a chirpy song in Portuguese. Even though Travis did not have room for it in his luggage, when he saw it, he knew he would do what it took to make sure that doll found its way into Josie's arms.
Guess what Josie's been doing for the last six hours...
DJ JoJo even discovered that when her new doll sings in unison with Elmo, their voices blend into a melodically stunning duet that rival the great duos of our time; Donnie and Marie, Captain and Tennille, Milli Vanilli...you get the idea. They could sell out Carnegie Hall, folks. At least as far as Josie is concerned.
And Dad is a hero, as far as we're all concerned.
Welcome Home, Travis. You were missed!
