First Christmas and Green Blankie

LP came before her due date, but she came right on time. So many prayers were answered with this delivery. For G's sake we had prayed that LP would be small. And of course with the pre-term concerns we had prayed that she not come to early. LP was right on time. In time for Christmas, in time for taxes.

Great Grandma D is wonderful. She came to visit from Corpus Christi and said she wasn't going to leave until LP arrived. Maybe we will tell her that LP's twin is still in the oven so she will have to stay longer. The joy that she has had for our LP is infectiously wonderful.

Christmas has come and gone. This year the Christmas green and red were overcome by mucho mucho mucho mucho pink. Mountains of pink.

Dad was teaching LP the bend and snap from "Legally Blond". You can see from the hand gestures that LP just about has it.

LP to daddy anyway, looks like her blonde cousin, Cousin So. Except Cousin So. doesn't have a little twig sticking out of her belly button.

Peanut eats every three hours. Momma is tired but adjusting. Daddy loves peanuts green blankie. It is so soft an its from Target. Which segways to...

Don't register at Target for your baby shower. There new policy stinks. If you don't have a receipt - no return, no exchange. They will allow you to return up to $40.00 worth of merchandise per year, but no one item can be more than $20.00.

We received three green blankies, a really expensive thermometer that isn't accurate, several duplicate outfits, most without receipts. At the very least we were hoping to turn some of these items into daipers. The girl at the return counter suggested we just ask people for receipts. Seems pretty rude to me, maybe I am wrong.

The experience left a sour flavor for the gift registry experience (particularly with Target).

So we will be looking for an opportunity to give the items to a mother or agency that can use them. So for those who generously gave us items that were duplicated, thank you and we are sorry. We didn't know that Target had established such an inconsiderate policy.
