Presents for Colin Nhan...

Okay. So, Rosie is heading to VL next week and Colin Nhan's birthday is coming up on the 18th. What is a gal to do?

GO SHOPPING!!!

Rosie (very thankfully) is willing to take some gifts to Colin Nhan. So, this Mommie went shopping and, boy, did I find some bargains. The Children's Place at Concord Mills had a "mack daddy" sale. I found two really cute button up shirts for $1.99, as well as a nice pair of overalls that were reduced (those of you who know me, know that I avoid paying full price for any clothing as much as possible).

After striking out on finding toddler-sized baseball caps at Concord Mills, I drove to Northlake Mall and found (not one, but two) ballcaps. For Eric, I bought Colin a Yankees' ballcap (of course, Eric has already said Colin can pick out his own favorite baseball team...I can hear Grandpa' saying 'Go Phillies'). For me, I picked out (you guessed it...) a Tarheels ballcap (of course, our son is free to like any ACC team of his choosing...).

In the package, I'm also including a book called "Smiles" that has pictures of many babies smiling (very cute - and I love the many ethnicities represented in the book), as well as a picture of us (so Colin can have his own picture of his Mom and Dad). On the back of the page, I wrote (well, I hope it translates correctly), "to our son" from "Dad and Mom".

I packed the box and traveled to FedEx, so that I could mail the package to Rosie. We can't wait until we hear more about our son when the V. family arrives in VL!
