vintage

Madeleine received a special gift for her birthday from Grandma and Grandpa Clark..a new church coat! And it's vintage - seriously vintage. I wore the same coat 26 years ago!





and while we're on the vintage kick, my parents recently sent me these pictures from my second Christmas.  I was the same age as Madeleine was at Christmas so its fun to see the comparison. 

Christmas 1986 my prized gift

this is classic - Madeleine does the same thing...sits in her chair, wearing a random necklace, reading a book and holding it up with her feet. 

I thought this was a fun picture - me kissing my cousin Lindsay and pushing her around in my stroller.  It reminds me of Madeleine and Henry (one reason we haven't bought a stroller for M, I'm too nervous of disaster)

Told you Mercy Buckets was special
