The babies love it!





He's here!! Kevin* the Elephant is now a part of our family, thanks to some very generous friends and family up in San Jose (thank you Dianes D. and C., Judy, Aunt Ida, Richard & Linda, Chris, and Grammie!!). Elsa and Jude obviously love it and beg to ride him all the time. Okay, maybe not yet, but eventually I'm sure. Until then, he's waiting for Henry to come over and rock and is a pretty nursery fixture. Kevin* looks like the Eames elephant that I also of course wanted but reasoned it was more for me than the baby (which this guy certainly isn't since I can't ride him). We purchased Kevin* from Ecobold, a rad website specializing in wares that are earth friendly, and he was the last one left and priced at a significant discount from what Amazon was selling him for. It was meant to be. 

Thanks again everyone for making my Elsa's wishes come true!

*He is named Kevin until Elsa is old enough to choose a name herself. Because it's her elephant. I guess.

Based on the facial expression of Elsa--what the heck is this!!--I suspect this acquisition was mostly driven by a motherly shopping compulsion...:-) for this "elephant" but I must admit it is cute, and hopefully Elsa will grow to appreciate it one day...one hopes...

When will you have to start a house remodeling/expansion project to fit all the new toys into the nursery?..:-) But happy to see you have good taste in toys and gadgets...

I am so glad you were able to purchase something you had been wanting for Elsa!!! It was for Elsa, right??!! We so enjoyed the Open House at Sue's! It was great seeing you and Jeff and meeting adorable Elsa. You and your family have so many fun times to look forward to with her. She is so lucky to grow up in a family with so much love for her and for each other!
