The Essence of Cole + Giveaway

July 22, 2009 by Kolette

essence

I’m trying to get some work done before our family reunion tomorrow (80 people!) but in the meantime, I had to post our new favorite photo of the Cole-meister. In spite of his diaper rash (thank you to everyone who gave me good remedy ideas on Facebook) he still wakes up happy both in the morning and after his naps. And even when he is grumpy we can coax a smile or laugh out of him.

This is the essence of Cole: happy.

How would you describe the essence of someone you love in just one word? Leave a comment by the evening of Sunday, July 26 and I’ll pick a random winner to receive some of my new stamp designs I just got in! Yum!

The essence of my husband, Mike, is EMBRACING.

Everyone that meets him knows this at first sight. He is just so nice, funny, kind & welcoming that he doesn’t even have to open his arms to give you a hug.

BTW: We never met Colette!! I kept trying to come introduce myself & then someone else would come up & start talking to you… Then I got to where I had “imbibed” too much to come introduce myself. So I never had the chance!! I’m a little sad about that. It’ll likely be another 10 years….

The Essence of my family is … delighful!

thanks for your blog. Cole is too cute. Another diaper rash remedy (file it away for the future – it sounds like you have this bout dealt with)….Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. When my girls were babies, we used Dr. Smith’s (came it a little tub). Then Boudreaux’s came out and it was the best!

Keep creating. CindyML
