Mama’s new coat!

The last time I bought myself a new winter coat, Stewart was four months old.
For a few years I wore a winter coat I found at a garage sale for $1. 
So – last Christmas Nan gave me a $50 gift card to Land’s End.  I hoped to get a new coat then.  It took until August for me to find one I liked.  With a 30% off sale, and her gift card, I was able to bring the cost of this coat out of the stratosphere.

It’s the same color as my bathing suit.
I like to be easy to find?

How we sleep and how we play.

Can you find Katriel?   As she says it, she is “seepin’ wiff my fends.”
(Sleeping with her friends.)
We do have to remind her when we put her to bed that she can’t talk to her friends.  They need to sleep.
She is such an amazing sleeper.  It is hard to believe how painful it was her first 8 months!

And when the kids ask me if they can build a maze, I am usually smart enough not to go look.
