Check Out My New Blanket
Isabel's great grandma S. made this for her. We just love homemade gifts. There is so much love & thought put into them. Store bought gifts are nice - don't get me wrong. But homemade gifts are something you keep & cherish and pass on.Isabel is blessed with having 5 great grandparents (2 great grandmas and 3 great grandpas.) Mom was blessed with the same number (5) but hers were reversed (2 great grandpas & 3 great grandmas.) Mom was lucky enough to have 4 of them through quite a bit of her life. The one great grandpa died when she was rather young, but the other 4 lived though her junior high, high school, & into college years. Hopefully Isabel with have as many years with her great grandparents as her mom did. Some of mom's most prized possessions were gifts from great grandparents (a quilt, a wooden manger, a pillow, a wooden frame.) She had a few very well-loved toys that a great grandma made her when she was young, but like I said they were well loved and are no longer around.
Isabel also has both sets of grandparents who all have been wonderful about making things for her.
Holding Hands w/ Mom
Her outfit today is a vintage one, but isn't it cute. Jean overalls with red&white ribbons, flowers, & hearts. We had a pretty good day together yesterday, both insync with one another (or at least mom was insync with Isabel.) Let's hope we have another one.

Caleb has two blankies. One he had since birth. I began using it because it was the only blanket I had with big holes in it (since it was crochet). I was always scared he sufficate because he had the habit of pulling it over his face when he was Isabels age.
Since he turned like 8 months old he has become very attached to his Blankie... enough so that its beautiful shade of white is now gray-ish haha. It got sooo filthy because he dragged it EVERYWHERE.
*he was his replacement for the pacifier - that I took away at a year old.. making him more and more attached to the blanket*
Since then my mom made him a duplicate blankie. Looks almost identical. He now carries BOTH haha. But we make him take the "older one" out of the house... and leave the "newer" one at home in the crib. :-)
