Thank you

I received a package today (always exciting) from my Sister Sophie in Holland. And what a lot of goodies there were inside (although we're not aloud to open any of them until after the baby is born). Sophie wrote that it is a Dutch tradition to receive presents like this and to open one per day for 7 days after the baby arrives. So we're going to have to excises a fair amount of self control for at least the next few weeks...although we did cave when we saw this little hat which wasn't wrapped in paper and couldn't resist trying it on.

Thanks Sophie for the very thoughtful idea.

    Ahhhh my heart leapt when I saw the picture start to open of my gift. So happy it arrived safely...and there IS one more gift you can open before the baby as its a bit summery and I am afraid the weather will turn before she gets to wear it....I think its a large pink soft package for Sapphire...obviously clothes.
