The Cabbage Patch Doll

A week ago we went to The Seeing Eye in Morristown, NJ. Just try to look (past my cheap camera) at the beauty of north Jersey. It is nice to sit and have a picnic there every year in the green rolling hills of North Jersey. And the kids love it when the ice cream man comes with free unlimited treats! Ben and Jerry's, Yum! It is the first school for dogs for the blind in the US. We saw the technology for blind people and see how they train the dogs. A blind man spoke how the dogs are such a ice breaker for the blind and help them to meet more people versus using a cane. He was quite humerous.



But, for the real news, check out our newest little one. Born 8-24. She is our cabbage patch doll. We picked her up today and the kids can not get enough of her. Cameron insists that she is "his" baby. Landon wanted her to sleep with him tonight and Isaac thinks that he gets to stay up late if he hold her for me! And the girls are little mothers, of course. We are going to have to get a chart to take turns holding her. The dog has not asked for a turn yet!

She is so cute! You need to live closer so we can all have a turn holding her and get our baby fix.

Seriously, you are amazing. I am so jealous. I really want a baby, but its impossible right now. Maybe in a few more years. I won't be too old will I??
