60+ Books

Our friends at SMU gave us a WONDERFUL Literary Theme Baby Shower. I am so excited that Baby Williams will take after his/her Daddy and start life with a love for reading and collecting books.

I learned a great deal growing up the child of vagabond parents but that lifestyle doesn't lend itself to posessing anything material for long periods of time. One exception being....my blankie, which I slept with well into my 20's! That tradition will live on as well since my friend Carrie made a blanket that is almost identical to the one I had for all those years. I might just have to steal it for myself, I must admit there are tough days where I still miss the best friend I have ever had...ok, maybe second best to my thumb! Let's hope Baby Williams doesn't inherit that habit.

It was just a year ago that I moved to Dallas and I could count the number of people I knew on one hand and that included the girl who worked at Ann Taylor Loft down the street! I am so lucky to be working in RLSH at SMU!!! Our baby is already loved and on the road to being brilliant...Go Mustangs!

I love this idea! So much better than all the other baby gear nonsense (although that is sort of fun too).

It was so GREAT! I love having all these books already. We did have "loot" shower in AZ...so now we are really all set!
