Cat coat

We spent last weekend at Jeff's reunion in Valparaiso, IN. Since we don't frequently spend time in the fall/winter while it is cold....we were digging for clothes to keep everyone warm. My sister, Kristin, happened to find a coat of Emma's that she had packed away...just in case Kallie or I had a girl.

Luckily, she sent it to us....just in time to arrive before we left. Well....we thought it would be great....but....here was Lili's reaction. At first....she kept saying "cat, cat."




Then, she switched to "no, no."



Unfortunately, we never made it past the "No, no. Cat, cat" stage...and our trip came and went. Every day....we talked about the coat, tried to get Lili to try it on. No dice. Until tonight....one week later. Here she is....wearing the cat:



So sweet....she left it on for a good five minutes...



Happy Lili....



Giving mom and the cat coat a hug....



Thankfully....she has bonded with the cat just in time for the rest of the cold-weather season. Let's hope she wears it. :)

Today....the kids had school pictures....so last night....we practiced our best smiles. Here is Lili's happy face.



And....here is Henri's....



My happy girl! Fingers crossed their pictures turned out....



Will post more soon.....
