Baby Blankets

Last night we had dinner with my aunt and uncle and sweet Lilly in Gtown (shout out for the "thrice" baked potatoes!) and got to talking about baby blankets. Lilly's baby blanket is a hand crocheted blanket that my aunt used because Lilly would pull the blankets over head and she figured she probably wouldn't suffocate if it had holes in it :-). My blanket was made by a friend of my moms and it never left my side for at least 10 years. My husband teases that it has been replaced by a hideous old sleeping bag that I wrap up in when I am home :-). I was thinking of this conversation this morning when I pulled Churchill's blanket out of the dryer:

Church is the puppy and I have no idea why but he will pull up certain parts of the blanket and suck on it . . . very strange. It's a good thing he's not like humans who get attached to one specific blanket because about every 6 months or so we have to reinvest in new "blankies" for him. Hope everyone is having a happy Saturday!!
