The postman visits Baby Hop

Posted in Baby Hopkins at 5:42 pm by winz

When Matt came home from work today he was toting a package which the mailman had surprisingly delivered to our house. We NEVER get packages so it was very exciting for both of us. I immediately recognized the Piedmont address and knew that my friend Chris Free had sent us a treat. Chris was my wonderful paraeducator while at PHS and a terrific asset during my time in Cali. Chris, a mother of three boys, helped me adjust not only to school but to life away from my family.

The package from Chris was a treasure chest of gifts for Baby Hop. Matt and I had such a great time unwrapping the carefully wrapped packages she lovingly sent to us. Included in the package were a sweet little t-shirt perfect for BH to wear next summer, an awesome pint sized rattle complete with a picture of a frog, and a BEAUTIFUL hand knitted blanket. The blanket was the big treat; while we worked together I watched Chris knit many sets of booties and hats for all the new babies in her life. Matt and I are so touched that she knitted something for our baby. I can’t wait to wrap him/her up in it this winter.

Thanks Chris for all the wonderful gifts. Matt and I love them all and can’t wait to see you on the west coast on our next trip.
