…for getting West this awesome handmade blanket!

So awesome.

Thanks, G-Ma!

And also a big thanks to my old college friend Katie Paluch for making it!

Katie is amazing when it comes to these handmade blankets. (Years ago, Ma Shady also commissioned Katie to make a blanket for Grey.) Here’s just a sample of what Katie can do with a needle and thread.

Katie's stitching is on point! Get it?!?

Lucky to have both such thoughtful family and talented friends,

Back when I was living in Columbus, Ohio my friends and I started a quote wall. Whenever a bit of brilliance (or otherwise) poured out of someone’s mouth, somebody would yell “Quote!” thus nominating it for Quote Board status. The quote then had to be seconded by someone (it almost always was), and then it would be written down to be forever immortalized on the Quote Board.

This is the modern day equivalent of that classic piece of my past.

QUOTE BOARD:

“It was as hard as it was for the moment.”

Three gems in a row,

Get ready for a couple more of these,

More visiting humans!

…for hanging out with the family a few weeks ago!

It was like Christmas cookie baking all over again… minus the trips to urgent care.

My mom thought that doll was West,

Let’s keep it going this Saturday!

Missing the rest of the 2016 crew,

It was a great time… save for the restaurant meltdown,
