Life is Like a Mountain Railway

Wordless Wednesday

My mom brought a bag to me last night filled with items she saved from my childhood. It included things like the Christmas dress she made for me when I was two years old, my baby doll that I took in the tub so much that her white blond hair stands straight up on end (her name was Betsy - I always named my dolls), my favorite baby toy (a toy telephone - prophetic of things to come maybe? lol), but my favorite item was the blanket she made when she found out she was pregnant with me. I am *so* excited to have it!

I don’t mean to get hung up on semantics here, but there are words in your wordless Wednesday. ;)

I had a doll that looked like that by the time I was done with her!

Both Chris and I have our baby blankets. And how funny that we both didn’t want to share them with our kids. Too precious to risk!

Your blankie is so sweet.
