{{{GC & GC's girlfriend}}} I'm so sorry. ~ma to all of you.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It isn't an actual christening gown, those are long, and are often heirlooms, used by generations in a family.
I found this baby dress in a consignment shop, never worn, tags attached. It's a Feltman Brothers batiste baby dress, similar to this one, with pintucks and infinitesimal buttons and lace. At the time, we were thinking of the possibility of a little girl, and this dress was sort of the symbol of that imaginary daughter. She never materialized, so I tucked the dress away in lavender and cedar, in case either of my sons had a daughter.
It was facing the fact that we wouldn't be having a granddaughter and being sad that this beautiful dress wasn't being worn and enjoyed, and that beautiful Buffista mamas were having gorgeous Buffista babies. So at the DC F2F, I gave it to Aimee. And when Em had grown too big to wear it, I asked her to pass it along to JZ and Hec for Matilda.
So I'm thrilled it's getting used. I'm tickled to death at the notion of it being the Buffista family heirloom, passed from baby to baby. Or really just seeing use, at all.
Mazeltov, Matilda! You'll make the dress absolutely beautiful!

That's a lovely story, Beverly. The link isn't working though.

Freaking allergies is right. I love this idea!

Okay, that's a lie, but still.

Daisy, peace and love to you and your family.
sumi, I'm so sorry about your knee. I hope a solution is found for you.
GC, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about GF's father. Hang in there, and please remember that we live nearby and are willing to help or take you out and distract you.
Bev, I remember Aimee telling me that story after Em wore the dress, and I'm just tickled that it's now Matilda's turn.
ND is still asleep. No word on his mom this morning. We're waiting for his sister to call with an update once all of the test results are back to determine if we need to hurry down to San Diego today. Fingers crossed.
