One of the best baby presents I got was a friend went to a consignment store and bought bags of boy clothes in every size. This set Mal up with a core amount of clothing and I don't have to panic whenever he outgrows a size. I've also had to buy very few clothes for him myself.

Yesterday when we were walking around Sounio I had him in the marsupial, but with the wind and sun and blowing grit sandblasting us I put my sheer black scarf with the glittery bits over him. It was very goth. My friend put it: "Your son looks ridiculous."

Beth, that flea market sounds like a lot of fun. I have a full day planned, but maybe I can try to swing by.

I am churlish and cranky because it's the last day of our Imagination Vacation and I have to go back to work tomorrow. I've had such a blast hanging out at home with Tom.

Spending serious time here in the house has made me love it more and more. It feels like home, but also, it's pretty! (I do not generally associate "pretty" with home)

also, I don't feel so great. Wah.

Thanks beth. I don't know if I can swing it, but I will try.

Nora, hope you feel better. I like your vacation idea - sounds like a lot of fun, especially in a new home.

It's good for us also because we are cranky travellers. Flight anxiety plus having trouble sleeping in hotel beds = vacations that are not so refreshing! Heh.

Beth, where did you send your number, because I don't have it yet? Can you try either myrealfirstname.lastname@gmail.com or my profile address?
