Should have told you sooner, but Kate (and her friend Sarah) have launched their own crafty baby boutique. Run, don’t walk, to ittsybittsy.com and stock up on your baby gifts.

It’s been too long since we were last in Pittsburgh, so while I was sick with the flu, Kate and Blake hitched a ride with Alyssa and the kids for the long drive out east. Though I was finally able to fly out to meet them a couple days later, I did miss Blake’s second birthday shindig. The trip went by too quickly, but we did manage to have some quality time on the playground and took a day trip to Cucumber falls.
