Today we dressed Baby Henry in a christening gown that I brought from Washington. This gown was given to me from my G'ma, who said that it had been hers. She gave it to me and I have taken pictures of all of our kids in it- although some couldn't really fit! They didn't make 9 to 10 pound babes back then!
This gown is two layers of muslin and homemade lace. I think that this gown must be 100 years old.
Handsome guy-even if he is in a dress!
Today Karli and I head back on the plane bound for Seattle. So sad! Henry has managed to double knot a string around my heart and is holding onto it pretty tightly. That's a lot of string, from Savannah to Oak Harbor.

:-( SO SAD right now! This first week of being a new momma was so much easier because of everything you both did for us. Karli: you are a wonderful, amazing kid and I am lucky to have such an awesome sister. Mom: I feel more confident is raising H because of the way you have raised all of us. I really do have the best family ever.
Miss you already.
Aww, your daughter's comment just brought a tear to my eye. It sounds like you have a really great family. It's a shame you live so far away, but this gives you a really good reason to visit them often!
Henry is absolutely precious. The christening gown is just gorgeous. You're so lucky it's still in such wonderful condition.
Congratulations, g'ma!
