Last night, the kids and I went through the playroom and pulled out all of our old baby toys. They did a great job of parting with lots of fun things that make lots of noise (you're welcome, Aunt Ashley). These toys have not been played with, glanced at, or given a second thought in months, even years. Suddenly, the heavens opened up and light shone upon these old toys. Boy, did they suddenly look good, new and exciting! We played with them all night. Isn't that always the way? I think that's going around a lot these days. I'm feeling good about what's coming around the corner for all of my favorite babies and their Mommies!
... and now for the seven hour drive with a 2 year old!!!!
This is Ashley and George. I am obsessed with this picture of them. George is my "Fairy Godson" (this is the Godmother equivalent of "other than Catholic" which I have a lot of experience with, so I should be perfectly suited for the job). Also, I want to be Ashley when I grow up. You do too, you just may not know it yet. And yes, she is even more amazing than she looks in this picture. Everyone should have a best friend this cool.
