Thanks Mary!

My Mother's coworker Mary made a blanket for each of our sons when they were born -- a blue one for Isaac and a white one for Elijah. I have been meaning to take a photo of the boys with their blankets but being as that requires planning, forethought, balance, precision, organization, and a host of other things I can't even think of right now, I have found myself saying, "Maybe tomorrow" nearly every day. I continue to watch Joia's blog and see all the photos of Moriah in a variety of outfits and think to myself: I want to be like Joia when I grow up!

Tonight I am going to a residency wives hangout night thingy and Elijah is going with me while Isaac stays with Grama and JB goes into the clinic for his second-to-last night of nights. I put Elijah in a new outfit from Becky (which she picked in honor of JB since it says "little explorer" on it). After I put it on him, I thought, that kind of matches what Isaac is wearing for play clothes. This lead to me saying: Maybe I could actually take this photo. With JB and my Mom there to help, we got it organized and a pretty decent photo was the result.

All right so this post got a lot lengthier than I was planning on it being. I write all this to say: THANKS MARY! WE LOVE THE BLANKETS!

P.S. Have to end this post with a BIG-TIME CONGRATULATIONS to Brandon & Kristen who get to stay at Mayo for five more, long, cold, wonderful, years. Great job Brandon!

Hey...I think that is an AWESOME photo. They are only 9 months apart in age and you are not a professional photographer, so JOB WELL DONE!

Yep...all of us want to be a little more organized when we grow up. I will second that sentiment! :)

Hope you have FUN tonight!
