I never knew our friends were so talented. Owen has gotten some amazing amazing handmade gifts and he seems to know all the work that goes into them and prefers them over his other stuff. Grandma Lafave knitted Owen a beautiful blue blanket long before he was born and he's spent many newborn hours cuddled in it. Our friend Gwen made a beautiful large quilt with a transportation theme (planes, trains and automobiles) which is perfect to remind of our pre-kid jet setting lifestyle (which we're hoping we don't give up completely). The quilt already looks nice with the nursery colors and has found a home on the back of the couch for now - when we sit on that couch Owen is enamored with the quilt - he stares at it and seems to point at the graphics. Maybe he knows he already been on 10 airplane rides....who knows. See him studying his gift above and watch for this quilt to make a debut on Owen's big boy bed when that day comes! Thanks Gwen for all your hard work!
We also got a beautiful knit blanket that matches the nursery colors perfectly by my high school friend Kristi. It's the perfect size for Owen to cuddle up with right now and arrived just as the cold air arrived in Ohio. In the picture you'll see that Owen likes this blanket a lot because he can find a hole that is perfectly sized for his little hand to stick out! Thanks Kristi, We love it!! We also have a really cool handmade rocking horse made by Great Grampa LaFave just waiting in the basement until Owen can hold on tight! Giddy-up. We'll surely post pictures of that one later!
