Carousel

Beaming baby

Tea with the Raggedys

I rescued these dollies from the $1 bin at a toy store.  (Ann came with a matching toddler-sized purse--score!)  Isaiah predicted that Andy would be happy to sleep in a real bed instead of a box; he seems to have been right, since Andy has been settled on Isaiah's pillow ever since he came home.  Bernadette calls her doll "Raggy Ran."

It was Isaiah's idea to bring them both to one of our favorite libraries to enjoy the tea set.
