Naphtali....this is so funny, because it is one of the first things I remembered about meeting you. Oh reminiscing about telling you my dislike for kids, and you confessing about your obsession over Paddington and wanting a truck load of babies! :) I love how time not only changes things but keeps some things entirely the same! He is pure love, good luck on the hung for all this PB for your future nursery.
Oops! "hunt" for all things Paddington... :) sticky fingers!

Oh, I ADORE Paddington too!
He conjures up so many happy childhood memories. I was so sad to find out that Epcot's England no longer carries their huge selection of Paddington gear! I was hoping to snatch up a bundle the last time I was there. Boo hoo!
