Granny Smith

It was been wonderful to watch a more feminine side of my mom that I haven't seen in a long time. She has been making things for me like crazy! She also went through the attic and found all kinds of things that she had saved from when my sister and I were little. She is getting ready for grandma-hood as much as I am getting ready for motherhood. She'll be a great influence on our son's life!
She has been a great help to me through pregnancy. She became my running buddy after Christmas. We have run 3 miles a week together. It is good to have a buddy who can put up with my slowness, tell stories to distract me and encourage my efforts. I am really enjoying it!
The first two pictures are things from when my sister and I were babies. I love the booties, the little green overalls and all the blankets. The next picture is an afghan she made for the baby from squares she crouched long ago. The last one is a fitted sheet and some swaddle blankets with matching burp cloths that she made. The Giraffe in the sheet turned out really cute!
