This little sweater was made for me 30 years ago by our family friend, Donna Solomonson. We have lots of pictures of me wearing it and now it fits my baby boy. Lately when I pick up Ivar I can't get over the fact that I have a baby that is ready to snuggle and cuddle at all times. I spent a whole lot of my childhood rocking dolls, burping them, changing their clothes, walking them around the house, taking them for walks in the stroller around the block. But now I have the real thing. I have wanted to have a baby my whole life and right this very moment I am living my dreams come true. I think I link to her blog almost every single time she posts a new blog entry, but my friend Meta has written another gem. She also just had a baby boy and her writing always sweeps me off of my feet. Click here to read Meta's latest thoughts on mamahood.

I keep coming back to this precious picture of Ivar in your green sweater! Oh, he is so cute. I know Uncle Jedd has said this before, but when I showed him the pics of Ivar in his clothes from Hawaii he said "That's one good lookin' kid!"
We love you.
Becca, this baby is so precious. Nothing would be finer than being able to meet him in person, and I understand the pull for you and Rory to be close to family.
I read about your years and years of journals. I was surprised you didn't realize how important they were to you. I, too, have years and years of journalling, and have now harvested most of them. Recent ones I don't keep any more, but I do save the things I think would be meaningful to others.
Blessings to you and that precious family!
