the emperor's new clothes...

for some, hand-me-downs are leftovers, cast aways, used and unwanted items. for others, hand-me-downs are treasures, hidden gems, and unexpected gifts. as for me, i think they're both. after all, one man's trash is another man's treasure, right?

matt and i have both been raised as hand-me-down children (and survived for that matter), so it comes as no surprise that our child would be one too. one might think that due to our child being the oldest, he would be the giver and not the receiver of hand-me-downs, but this is not the case for our little man. he is the youngest nephew or boy cousin (on mom's side) and the youngest boy among his friends. i can't tell you how lucky i am he is to fall into both categories!!

just recently jackson was the recipient of huge box full of clothing. a big thank you thank you thank you goes out to our dear friends PB & Bananas for thinking of him, dressing him for the next few months, saving us money, saving me from doing laundry every few days, and making him look so stinkin' cute. hands down we are thrilled about the hand-me-downs!

new overalls

new t-shirt

new t-shirt and shorts

ps: we are also grateful for the many donations of clothing given to us by the aunties. right now they're a bit big, but we look forward to the day he fits into them!
