childhood comforts

Disclaimer: This picture was taken tonight, October 22nd 2010. My roommates and I are all 25 years old.

Shawna & Angel-bear Blankie, Dusty & Blankie, Nanny & Bunny  

 Are we cute, or what?

Shawna & Angel-bear Blankie are mine. Dusty & Blankie are Laura's. Nanny & Bunny are Emy's.

As you can see, the quilted fabric blanket held up much better than the knitted ones the girls had. This has led me to decide my kids will definitely be getting the fabric kind of blankie.

Emy's Bunny is on her third set of clothes and survived flying off the roof of a van on the freeway a few years ago. Shawna survived falling out of a car on the side of the freeway once when I was a kid.

Through high school, college, travel, moves, boyfriends, and breakups, these remnants of simpler times have been kept close our whole lives. And here they will stay.
