Bittersweet

A year ago today, Andy's Grandfather passed away. We sure miss him, especially this Christmas season.

It was also the day Andy & I found we were going to have another baby. What a bittersweet day for us! We didn't want to announce such joyful news on such a sad day, but now a year later, our precious baby girl helps to fill a bit of the hole left by our hero who has gone on...

Zipper Back Gloves

A friend of mine, Kathy Partak, & fabulous inventor-mom, brought a cool line of "Zipper Back Gloves" on the market. I helped her advertise in a tiny way to get in a drawing for a free pair of gloves & I won! These gloves are made for children (with adult sizes coming in 2011) with the ease of a zipper with a big pull-tab, so small children can put their own gloves on easily. Clayton was thrilled with his ZBG & we love that they match his coat/hat so nicely!
