lucky libby





Saturday night, we attended a dinner at Great Wolf Lodge to benefit HART, the dog and cat rescue group Katie volunteers with and through which we adopted Gilmore. In addition to a great dinner, silent auction, live auction and several raffles, there were about 20 door prizes distributed. Because our family (Katie, Matt, Casey, me, Kevin, Libby, Mom and Mom's friend Carolyn) bought an entire table, Libby was a registered attendee and eligible for the raffle. We joked as we filled out her entry that it would be so funny if a 6-week-old baby won. Well, Libby must have inherited her mama's good luck because, sure enough, she was a winner. When they called her name, Kevin had to go up in front of everyone to claim her prize. Most of the baskets were dog-themed or had items suitable for grown-ups. But Libby had the good fortune of winning a basket of Easter items for a little girl. There's pastel bath confetti, a puppy wearing bunny ears, a tiny butterfly purse and more. I packed everything away to give to her for Easter when she's a little older, but we snapped a photo of her with her winnings at the dinner. Katie and Matt also won door prizes, so we must have been seated at the lucky table!

Libby also took her first trip to Findlay Market on Saturday. Then we went shopping at Kohl's for some new sleepers for her since she outgrew all her newborn ones this week. It was a big day!

Congratulations, Libby! Pretty smart baby to provide your own Easter basket treats. Sarah and Kevin, Your Libby is going to be a live-wire. I've see her spirit in her eyes from the get-go! She is just beautiful.
