My grandmother (the wife of my grandfather that just passed away last month) recently gave me my dad's first pair of Levi's! These were probably worn around 1962. Being a lover of vintage and all things of family value, this was quite an exciting gift to receive! I can't wait to try them on Elliot.
* A few days ago we found our cat, Indy, hit by a car at the beginning of our cul de sac. When I first moved into our home in February of 2009, he ran in the door one day and we have had him ever since. Even after we had him fixed, he was a feisty cat that never seemed happy but was always happy to receive our love. It's been an emotional month in general so it goes without saying (yet I will still say it) that I took it pretty hard. I will miss him very much.
* My little man is getting so big. He has such a beautiful smile. I am so overwhelmed with the desire for another child. I don't know if I have ever felt as needed as the time I have been a mother. It has given my life a purpose I always lusted after and now completely embrace.
Most of my friends (which is a very short list) do not live close by. I have no one that I "hang out" with on a regular basis. I see my mom when she can steal away a few moments...she is my best friend, someone I don't know what I would do without. Never that elusive "friend" though...one that hasn't moved away, kept too busy for those frequent chats and visits, or gone through lengthy spells of discord. I have to admit I am in one of those really achy, lonely spells where all of this is extremely apparent.
But every morning I do have one of my favorite (physical) constants: Elliot. He is my company and joy throughout my days. He is never too busy for me and thinks I'm brilliant, funny and extremely fun to hang out with. He has gotten me through these past couple of months, holding me steady each day until his dad comes home. I love him more than these words do justice.
* On the subject of friends, a dear friend of mine since junior high is getting married in September. I am so excited to be there to celebrate her marriage. I am sad that she will be moving to England after the wedding, as I rarely see her these as she lives down south.
* Saturday I have a shopping trip planned with my mother and grandmother. I am really excited!
That's about it...

First, totally cool about the Levi's!! Second, you are loved by so many dear one. Third, Elliot is just too darn adorable! Love ya all!
The jeans are awesome! What a special gift! And I totally get you about the friend thing. It seems we are all at that point where life is just busy for us all, so it's not as simple to have those "easy" friendships. You are loved by many, just like Ant said, so give me a call! I may be one of the busy ones, but I'm not too busy to meet up with a friend!
Elliot is too cute and growing up so quickly. I hardly recognized him in that picture!
