Levi and Tirzah have blankets. Of course, don't we all? But these blankets have names. Levi's is Blamblee; it's actually a woven cotton crib-sized blanket Caelin got at his baby shower, but he never really used it, so it's been adopted. It is the love of Levi's life. Refered to as "he", it gets taken everwhere and cuddled with. It shows, however. The poor thing is slowly losing its strings and developing some large holes. The funny thing is that Scott had an almost identical blanket as a little boy, and it suffered the same fate, slowly being loved and picked to death. By the time Levi gets married, all he'll have to show his bride is two little balls of string, like Scott.
Tirzah's blanket's name is Mankee. A gift from Trish Puffer when she was born, it is an ultra-soft plush pink number with satin binding. I like it myself. It is her first thougth when upset or hurt. She sleeps with it and tonight finding it lying on the stairs, yells, "I found my mankee, her was on the stairs!"
"Mankee in the background on Christmas morning"
