My little Linus...


Laila has a favorite blankie...guess which one it is?

It's so dingy that it has been mistaken for an old towel. I prefer to call it 'well-loved'.


I bought the one on the right as a substitute so that the 'well-loved' blankie could get a much needed washing. I have tried this tactic before, but the blanket I bought was just the same material, not the same color. It didn't go well.
She seemed to like this new blanket, so I grabbed the 'well-loved' and threw it in the wash.

Big mistake! It really doesn't look like a huge tragedy from this side....

but, here is my poor baby's face! She just kept crying for her "bankie".

She was mad when she saw I was taking pictures, she ran over to hit me!
Then, back to the door to the laundry room to beg for her blankie some more.
Every time I had to open the door to the laundry room the frenzy would start up again, so I ended up drying it alone to speed up the process.

She did carry around the new one in it's place while her 'well-loved' was in the wash. I guess she will suffer a substitute rather than have no blankie at all.

Some of you may recall that Nathan had a special blanket as well.
I guess it runs in the family!

Then and now.....cherry baby reunion

Here is a then and now of the old Primary crew baby girls....
What does that date say? July 20, 2008?
(Poor Avery! She was so mad! She is totally saying "Argh!" in this picture.)
(Look how tiny Audrey was! And still is!)

( And sweet little Callie, always sweet!)
(Laila looks like a deer in the headlights!)

They are so cute!

This time, Laila wasn't having a photo shoot.
(Oh my gosh, Callie's cute little hair still makes me smile!)

She really wasn't having it.

Eventually, they all cooperated and even stood in age order without us arranging them.
Look how much they've grown!
