Finally!

 Eddie's mom gave me a lovely and very fragrant little bouquet of lilac colored roses. Is there a better gift than garden roses in a glass vase? I can't think of anything sweeter. The girls asked if they could have them in their room.
 Finally! I hung the girl and her horse that Julia gave India when she was a baby. It was up in her old room but this room hasn't had anything up until today. I couldn't decide. I think I'm pretty happy with these two together. I imagine them talking like the goose and the puppy on Amalie's bedroom wall. So cute. The happy dogs are from the thrift store and I love them. So cozy.
