Have you met our extended family?

Bet you didn't know we had eight extra members of this family! Meet Tate's four members: Blankie, Spot, Ducky, and Dog (original names, I know). Tate's had blankie since he was an infant, and over these past 4 1/2 years he's has added to his brood; I'm afraid by the time he's ten he'll have like 30 animals! But he loves them all and will not go to bed if every member is not tucked in with him.
Meet Marley's three: Blankie, Doggie, and Sheep (she won't call it a lamb). Somehow when she was tiny she found Doggie and has not let it out of her sight since. She's that kid who takes it outside to play and in the store with her. Sheep is recent, she got it from Grandma Love's house and now is completely attached.
And I'm sure you think this is an old rag....but it is my beloved blanket I've had since I was a baby! My Grandma made it when I was really little and I've slept with it every day since...30 years! It even went on my honeymoon and all family trips. Jen had to save it once when Jord and I were first married. We had taken a road trip with his family, and I had to jump out of the car because I got sick and blankie fell out. Everyone else thought it was trash but Jen knew what it was and saved it!:) You can laugh but Jord knows my blankie sleeps where I sleep.

I still think I deserve some sort of compensation for saving that thing from the road!

LOL! My kids both have "blanket" if you can even call them that anymore that they are SO attached to. I swear I wont do it again, it is THE WORST when you can't find it! I say that although I had one ready and waiting when P was born. :)
