Toby's new sweater

My grandmother Milly lives in England, so we aren't able to see her nearly as often as we'd like. But she just sent Toby a dinosaur sweater that she knit herself. How sweet is that? It makes me nostalgic every time Toby wears it.
Here's a photo of Milly from our trip to Cornwall last year. (By the way, how little has she changed in four years...or forty-six years?!!) Amazing to think that she's Toby's great-grandmother!
And, just for fun, a recent photo of Milly and another of her great-grandchildren doing the Sunday crossword. (The 2006 calendar apparently has not been changed:)

P.S. Breastfeeding across the ocean.

Have a beautiful weekend.

What are your plans for this weekend? We're excited to go to a magic show tomorrow (more on that later:), and then we'll be hosting the big bake sale on Sunday, so please come say hello! It would be great to see you. Samantha also made gorgeous prints to support the effort. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

Update: Louis CK just added two shows in Staten Island on November 17th to benefit the hurricane relief efforts. Whoot whoot!

Have a good one! xoxo

Friendship

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, "What! You too? I thought I was the only one." —C.S. Lewis

P.S. Making friends as an adult.
