the casteel casa: November 2013
http://casteelcasa.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 30. We've already received a few gifts for baby roo and got one ourselves. The very first gift for roo [or actually sorta for us but related to roo] was this cute picture frame from one of our teens, madi. we put one of roo's ultrasound pics in it, and it lives in our bedroom now. Another dear friend from church, beth, made this precious and suuuuuuuper soft baby blanket for baby roo. And i couldn't resist this adorable stuffed animal in honor of roo's nickname!
