brown bear

Last night my little brown bear came home from a week at the beach with her grandparents. She is so tan and I believe her legs are a bit longer too. There is nothing in this world like an unsolicited hug from a child. The hug she wrapped around me when she got back was 5 minutes long. Once she decided to let go she ran to her brother and kissed and loved all over him. We are glad to have her home. She is wearing Lilly Belle shorts from LOVELY LOU.

watermelon dress

Today I wore the watermelon dress to church. This dress was a gift from my mother and she described it as a watermelon. I must admit I was doubtful about wearing anything that would make me appear to be a watermelon. After having spent a total of 27 months of pregnancy the last thing you want is to look like a watermelon. When I received the dress I felt it didn't look anything like a watermelon; there is no green on it and the "seeds" are white instead of black. The neck line did look a bit like a nice slice of ripe melon but otherwise I did not make the same association and loved the dress. I wore it for the first time today and as we are pulling out of the driveway to head to Church, my husband says to me,"Your dress looks like a watermelon".
