The gifts we miss...

My husband and I were visiting my parents a few years ago, and my Nana happened to be sitting at the counter, knitting away at a blue bobbled thing.

My husband says to her, "Hey - that's neat. What are you knitting?"

She responded with "It's a baby blanket for the next one of you that has a boy."

And as he said "Oh that's nice" and started to walk away, she yelled "Did you HEAR ME?!"

I laughed a good long while at that one. And I still giggle every time I look at this blanket.

HAHA! That's awesome. It's a great blanket, too, and it will be so fun to tell your boys the story that goes with it when they get older.
