Later, she took her nap in a Moses basket on top of a vintage baby quilt from Rebecca. The big kids got entirely soaked with water balloons and when they ran out of those, they used cups of water straight from the fountain. I wish I had a picture of them. They dried smelly and tired, but very happy and enthusiastic about distant cousins.
She's in the 99th percentile for height - can you tell? |

I met a cousin's wife who sews bags and was pleased to find out that they live blocks away from us and our daughters get along great.
I took some jars of pickled beets for the auction and also the potluck, having canned a "gallon" from a generous farmer. The "gallon" was probably more like 2 gallons, so I am over-supplied.
She's getting so big! Great to keep those family connections :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an adorable vinyl dolly in there (the plastic leg creases).
ReplyDeletePhoebe is changing so fast! She's so adorable in that little Moses basket.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I'm a fan of your pot holders! My cousin is planning to make a solid block quilt for baby when he or she arrives.
Such adorable photos of baby Phoebe! Does she always have that knowing look? She seems quite serious!
ReplyDeleteI love the potholders.
Family reunions can be so much fun. Glad yours turned out that way.
Hooray for cousins!!
