This was Erin's favorite book. She used to read the last line to me. I hope you'll love it as much as we do.
Cute little pink pants! I wanted to buy some cute pink shoes with flowers to match but wasn't sure if you would like them. Let me know, and I'll order them!
It looks like Aola and I ordered the same thing! It's a good thing you can never have to many onsies!
Congratulations Kristen! I am so excited for you. You are going to be an amazing mom!

And by the way, baby shoes are some of my favorite things on the planet, but you don't have to order them.
I've gotta say, I can't wait till we have your shower!

That was a fast responce,on my post to you.
Will be great to see you and David and glad you are doing so well.
Love much.
It is one of my favorite books, too!
Great minds think alike:)
Our kids LOVE this book. I loved your poem. It is so funny how much being a parent changes you for the better. I have discovered so many things about myself I never knew before the kids!
I remember reading that to Erin when she lived with me. I had a horrible time getting through the last of it without crying. But then I am just an old softy any way. I love that book.
Hey Sandy... what nutral colors would you like in your baby blanket? I need to start crocheting it.
Love Ya
to the moon and back- always made me tear up.
That's exactly the line Erin would read to us. We would say "to the moon" and she would say "and back". Tugged at the heart strings every time!
