What a great idea for a post Katie ... I may have to blog-lift it! :)
I was just telling Megan at His and Hers blog that I'm ready to get on a schedule again! Argh. The holidays wore me out! Sorry I've been MIA, I've still been reading! LOVED this recap post. Orin's just darling, as usual. I just checked your dotted duck site and, yay, it's up! I'll make a post about the towel bibs soon. I got some cute pics of the Mister giving them some use. :) I wanted to wait until your site was up and running...
