Thirty First

I worked from home today in order to be available to accept a delivery. We bought a storage ottoman online, and as soon as the girls got home from school they had to check it over pretty closely. I think they approved of the purchase. I am excited to have a coffee table that won't hurt shins and does hide toys!

November 14

Lots of kids have a Lovey, and my kids are no exception. I remember when Leila was little we always wondered when and if she would gain an attachment for one of her toys, but everything seemed to be pretty expendable to her. I remembered from when the twins were babies that there were definitely drawbacks to this scenario. Little Clayton was attached to his pacifier, but nothing like little Cassie and her blankie, which she temporarily named Mike after a favorite uncle. I would be willing to bet that Cassie still has that blanket, or at least the scraps of it that have survived the last 24 years.

Leila eventually did turn to a blanket as her special lovey, and Thea followed right in La-La's footsteps when she also claimed a fluffy pink blankets as her own "Nigh-night."
Here are my girls on a Lazy Sunday morning sporting their special friends.

The much anticipated baby shower. Leila tried her best to be the center of attention, but the competition was fierce with all of the grandkids together in one place.

Upon returning home I was greeted with a lot of work to do to prepare for house guests and a baby shower for the weekend. Thankfully I have wonderful sisters. Cassie had to work, but Andrea, Dani and I spent the evening baking together and chatting. Love them.

Home sweet home! Cory, being the rebel that he is, had his phone on during take off and landing so that he could take some video of the experience to show Leila. Leila is a little sponge these days, and she was very interested in hearing about flying. Judging from the picture you would think Thea was really interested too!
