yesterday a package arrived for bebe. inside was a blanket made for her by jack, maggie and ben's mam (aka my best friend kate's mom jane). it's orange (my favorite color!!!) and really soft and snuggly.
it inspired me to take a picture of bebe surrounded by all the other blankets she's received -- each one beautiful and cuddly and most important, made by hand by friends and family! (from left to right: josh's cousin lisa; family friend carolyn; my dear friend jessie; and knitter extraordinaire grammy).
it seems fitting to me that bebe has so many wonderful knitted blankets. my grandmother, whose given name was elizabeth but who was called bebe, was a busy knitter and crocheter who filled our home with brightly colored blankets when i was a kid. thank you all for sharing your talents and love with my bebe!
