A Box of Memories

 I mailed this box today to my daughter Lauren. She wants to dress her little one (due in late March) in a few outfits she once wore. Praying all the time for this little one to make three more months and then a safe and sweet arrival. I will be on pins and needles until she's here. 

I pinned prints and notes to each outfit.

I also included bonnets. soft shoes, a few crib toys, and a musical windup.

I hope Lauren enjoys the contents of the box.

Baby shoes

my own bronzed pair with a missing button

my son's first white pair

This little pair received lots of wear.

precious keepsakes

my daughter's

The soles made these extra special keepsakes.

Tiny shoes of children now grown...it's astonishing how much time has passed. If it were not for pictures and keepsakes, I would wonder did it really happen. Sometimes in my mind I try to relive a busy day with my small children. I find it's hard to recall the numerous tender moments we must have shared.
