Weak moment

Well, I broke down and bought something for the baby that I don't have.....
I was at TJ Maxx today and I saw this sweater dress. This picture does not do it justice. It is soooo cute. I bought it in a 2T thinking that maybe if we get our girl this fall or winter she could wear it. But if not, Baby S, the Johns' baby should be able to wear it so I will give it to her.
Just had to show everyone!!!

How cute is that?! I was there earlier tonight and they had a striped one that was super cute, too. I'm praying for things to move so your girl can come HOME!!
