Raggedy Ann & Cora Elise

-
I may be just a little biased,
but I think this is one of the cutest
Raggedy Ann's I have ever seen.
My grandma Bergeron made this little
dress for Kelly when she was about
Cora's age.  I know she would
have loved seeing her great-great
granddaughter wearing it.
Cora is teaching us all a lesson
in patience.  Instead of being frustrated
with her cast and all the things that she
can't do, she has been such a little trooper
and her smile is contagious.  
This is the first time she has played
with the Raggedy Ann doll that Grandma
Bergeron made, but I have a feeling it won't be
the last.
What a little ham!  She knows when a camera
is pointed her way (as they so often are)
and she looks up and flashes her dazzling smile.
She can travel quite well on the hardwood
floor, but only backwards.
It's funny to watch her scoot, get stuck under
a chair or other object,
and then wait for her certain rescue.
I have a picture somewhere
of Cora's pretty mama in this
same dress.  I have to find it
and compare the two beautiful
 girls.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi

Swing High, Swing Low

Jeremy made me swings for under the deck and his boys are already enjoying them. This is Aaron's smile face. Caleb's smile face. Wee!  This is fun! Learning to hold on tight. Don't you just love his shoes? This boy loves Sesame Street characters as much as his brother loves super heroes.   Since Sweetie is here visiting, she got to enjoy the swings too.
