(Because they are my true-blue summer purchase favorites, I want to tell you that my dress is from Ace & Jig and my bee necklace is from my good friend Jess Teesdale. The hat? It was $12 at my local feed store, a very fine place for high fashion shopping.)
Last weekend we soaked up a bit of the newest of the new cousins on the block, baby Leo. He brings the total to fourteen on my side of the family, the most of them under the age of eight. Oh my. And, oh gosh, he's a love. Is there anything better than the weight of a newborn baby in your arms? I don't know that there is. It's precious. And grounding. And beautiful. And yet....so is handing him back to his Mama to soothe when he starts to fuss. Ah....I love being an auntie.
