As most parents know, kids don't wear their clothes long enough to actually wear them out. Over the past year and a half, I've stored numerous boxes of Jack's clothes with the intention of using them again for Jack's brothers. Of course, I didn't know if that would happen (like, maybe we'd have a girl) but to think we're having TWO more boys makes my efforts of saving his clothes that much sweeter. I'm anxious to pull all his little clothes out again and actually use them! How fun!!
I have to mention here that over half of Jack's wardrobe (no joke!) has been given to us by my dear friend Ashley from Midland. We met in Jr High and have been friends ever since. She has a daughter who is 5 and a son who turned 2 in late August. So, nearly every time we're in Midland, she has a HUGE box of clothes, pj's, shoes, etc for Jack. Luckily, we dress our boys similarly and we've loved having Brock's hand-me-downs! And, now I'll be able to pass those same clothes on to our next two boys. Love it!
Here's a small sample of the crazy (I mean that with all the love in the world, Ash) amount of hand-me-downs we're given!!
These are all current shoes Jack can wear. Well over half of these have been given to us in near perfect condition from Ashley! I will never be able to re-pay her but am soooo grateful for her generosity. And now we'll be able to pass them on to the twins. Thank you :)
