A couple Saturdays ago my parents watched Sophie while Andy and I celebrated our good friend Kristin’s birthday at her very swanky “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”-style cocktail party. It was so fun. Angel lent me her grandmother’s beautiful party dress circa the 1950s. I also donned false eyelashes for the event, many thanks to Andy. After a messy and failed attempt, Andy patiently applied them for me—one by one—while I held a squirmy Sophie. Love.

![The kiddos at First Unitarian Church are collecting books for students at South Avondale School to help fill the free bookstore our church sets up at the school regularly. If you have gently used or new books you'd like to donate, please let me know and I’ll come by and pick them up! We mostly need Pre-K/K (board books, concept books [ABCs, shapes], not lots of large hardcover picture books), early readers, early chapter books and blank journals. Because of the importance of children seeing mirrors of themselves in these books, diversity is key.
