Hurray for Hand Me Downs

Since Celia's birth, Grandparents and friends gave Celia special dresses and clothes. On a day to day basis, though, most of her clothes have been hand-me-downs. People at our church have been so generous sharing their gently used clothes with us and we have lots of friends with girls just a bit older than Celia. It has really helped save money on clothes she will grow out of so quickly, especially while David was in school. Now, since we are so far from Texas, we don't have such easy access to our hand-me-down connections. Last week, David even had to buy Celia some clothes for the fall and her drawers had been looking bare since I put away the things she has outgrown.

And then...
Wednesday, one of the wonderful ladies at the church asked me if Celia would wear used clothing. Heck yes (I thought). She gave David a large stack of cute dresses, a bag of shoes and a basket of PJs, socks and play clothes. So generous!
I realize that at some point, we will probably have to start buying clothes on a regular basis, but I am happy to delay that day a bit longer. The other great thing about getting clothes from someone else is that I have absolutely no style (really, I don't), so they are clothes that someone with style has picked out.Although these are also some of the new clothes, it is really a picture to show how long Celia's hair is getting.
