 It was a great program, a Sweetie singing.  His brothers and sister and parents were there too, and a cousin and an aunt and uncle. We had fun.  They sang crazy sons like On Top of Spaghetti.  It was a great day. After this program we went back over to their house for a while,

 Reading library books, above. Sewing blankets–these ones below are for Cake-cake, p.j.’s little sister due in a month:  These blankets are for two other people I know who have new baby boys: These are some from instagram, Dan and Alcia’s little girl smiling Renee’s sweet kitty: And anyone who has ever put kids to bed
