Officemate

Working in my office after dinner isn't nearly as unpleasant as it could be when I have this sweet officemate joining me.  She quietly does her reading and gets my documents from the printer.  Not bad.

Family Love Cards

Found on my bedside table and Josh's tonight:



I don't know exactly what a family love card is but I know I love it. Is this normal five-year old behavior? Does every other parent have a folder stuffed full of notes from their child?  And unrelated, but an important business idea: why doesn't the craft store sell boxes of blank business cards? Ella has gone bananas for some old business cards of mine and my dad's for all sorts of crafty little projects.  

Matching girls

Do you remember when the funnest thing ever was dressing up or with or just like your best pal?  Childhood lore holds that I used to call my friend Susanna before preschool so we could wear matching underwear.

I ordered Ella a bunch of clothes for next summer (sales, baby!), and when this dress came out of the box, she got so excited because her BFF L has the same one.  So naturally it didn't go into the bin for next year but instead got packed for the slumber party with L.  And here they are the next morning at the Farmer's Market in their matching dresses. Adoring strangers couldn't believe they aren't sisters.
