Gratitude.

Thank you, Alex, for such a beautiful gift. As you can see, Viv's a little peanut, so she'll be getting plenty of use out of your hat before the winter's over (which will be next May- this is the Mitten State, after all!).

This was the best picture I could get- it's still pretty warm here, so she didn't abide the hat for long. :P Fortunately, she's finally figured out how to soothe herself. I'm convinced that thumbs truly are nature's greatest invention.

I am grateful for the kindness you've shown me and my little girl, and I hope it revisits you a thousand times over.
