Ash Day

Thank you everyone for checking up on us. We all are feeling much better; my dizziness is done and our colds (hurray!) finally seem to have run their course. So naturally, I have turned my attention to laundry. And in my ever-failing struggle to eradicate dirty laundry, I was trying to reach those tiny long lost socks between baby mattress and springs and guess what I found? Under the crib, at the bottom of the extra, extra sheet box, there was the box of winter hats! Three months into winter, four months after I started checking and rechecking the trunks in the basement and searching the backs of both of our closets, there it was. We've got it now! Hats, mittens, scarves, in every color! Don't worry, we each had at least one pair of hats and mittens all along, but next time you see us, even if it is in July, we'll have our best woolly hats on.
In other news, Tilly was very excited that it was "Ash Day" (as she insisted on calling it) and Xavier wanted to know if "Ash Easter" was coming soon. Only forty days, give or take a few, and then we'll be sporting our Easter finery, new patent leather shoes, freshly pressed dresses and suits...and our prettiest winter hats. Maybe by October, I'll have found the box with the Easter bonnets...
