Thank you for the presents! (Look what we did with them…)
Our awesome neighbor, Susan, brought us over a delivery of 3 bags of baby clothes. She has two boys, so, is hoping we have another (which, if you don’t know the story of our block, it seems only boys are conceived on this end of Hawthorne). She also said, she is sure it’s a girl….
The clothes are adorable, my favorite outfit being a pair of red corduroy overalls, similar to the pair worn by my first cabbage patch kid. Aw…. Well, seeing as there’s no baby available quite yet, it didn’t take us long to wonder how a cat or two might look in some baby clothes. Actually, we were wondering how well the cats are going to hold up under future tortures, if, by chance, the kid has a similar obsession with animal dressup to the one its mama had (has?).

Erin (and Peter),
Oh yes, I remember those cabbage patch kid days. I remember, sometime around Christmas at your parents, when you and Melissa were showing them off. I’m sure you’ll know what to do with a REAL cabbage patch kid.
When I first felt that little thump you describe it felt like a tiny finger tapping on my inside. You’ll never forget it. Hard to believe Orion ever had such tiny, tentative fingers.
Well, take care. I think you are having a boy. I see you as parents of a boy. You’ll be good ones.
Love,
We miss you.
