Winter Warm-Up

Here are some pictures of a little fun in the Chicago sun last weekend. We even managed to do a little "puddle jumping," though not as you might think. We were trying to stay out of the water, rather than get all wet.

Crazy about Hats

There's just something about this hat. I'm not sure what it is. Julia loves it so much that she wears it night and day....I'm not kidding. Here's a picture of her sleeping with it at night:


Maybe she'll change her mind come spring and summer.....otherwise she'll be one sweaty Betty.

Gifts from Grandma

My mom is a very gifted seamstress and quilter. Over the years, she has made everything from baby quilts and doll clothes to curtains, dust ruffles and pillow shams (the list could go on and on). This year she made beautiful aprons. Elise opened up a special Valentine package and found this little surprise.....heirloom quality to say the least. Thanks Grandma K! We love it!
