Bring Out The Quilts!

We are lucky that we know many talented and creative people because if it wasn't for them our bean would not have any homemade blankets or quilts.  Because, Lord knows, I am far from crafty in the sewing, knitting, crocheting arena.  Each blanket and quilt that people have made for us is extraordinary.  I don't know how they do it!  I almost couldn't even imagine anything cuter than the things these ladies are able to make.  Since I am obsessed with our baby quilts, I thought I'd display their amazing handiwork here.  Please, don't be too jealous.

Travel the World quilt made by our friend, Christa Martin - she is an amazing & prolific quilter!

Zigzag quilt made by my Aunt Beverly - I cannot get over how cute the fabrics are

Woodland creatures quilt made by Drew's family friend, Paula Choy - the back is fleece.  So cozy!

Block quilt made by my paternal Great-Grandma, Fannie Kanode  - it is such a special family heirloom 

Cape Cod

Drew and I spent this past weekend in Cape Cod for a Valentine's Day/President's Day/Babymoon celebration.  Every single moment was amazing!  We most certainly did not want to leave. 

We stayed at the most charming bed & breakfast called The Platinum Pebble in West Harwich.  We splurged and went for the room with a king bed, fireplace, and gigantic soaking tub (it was even big enough to fit me!).  It was really one of the nicest places we have stayed.  Each morning, breakfast was brought to us in our room!!  It was so wonderful to be able to eat in our jammies in front of the fire.  Each afternoon the wife, of the British husband/wife duo that owns the place, would bake a delicious treat for us and the room was stocked full of complimentary snacks and beverages.  Drew was also enamored with the fact that they provided free scotch in the main common space for a pre-dinner drink or nightcap.

On Saturday night there happened to be blizzard-like conditions while we were out there on the Cape, but it really didn't effect us much since it didn't get nasty until later in the evening and just lasted through the night.  We awoke to a beautiful wintery landscape on Sunday morning and took full advantage of it!  We went for a gorgeous snowy walk along the Cape Cod Rail Trail in the afternoon and capped off our exercise with a post-blizzard Blizzard from Dairy Queen.  On Sunday night we had a romantic and tasty dinner at a cute little restaurant named Fin.  Other than eating, we went to the Sandwich Glass Museum, explored some of the Cape's coastline, spent a lot of time in front the fireplace watching the Olympics, playing Scrabble, reading, relaxing, and just enjoying each other's company.  We are doing all we can to embrace the calm before our little bundle arrives.

Other than feeling bigger by the day, I am still thankfully feeling great.  The other day as I tried to turn over in bed, my loving husband joked, "Caution, makes wide turns."  I guess I can't really argue with that.

Beginning of the blizzard!

Still smiling even though I beat him at Scrabble

Post-blizzard Blizzard!

Yep, we definitely toured this chip factory.  Walked out with five bags... 

Gourmet breakfast in our room.  Such luxury!  This morning we both woke
up very sad that somebody wasn't bringing us breakfast in bed.  

Happy Belated Valentine's Day from me & the bean!
