When Leo was just a little guy, my sister Debbie sent him the most wonderful raincoat and hat. I think she found it in Vermont when she was on vacation. I loved that thing. Both boys wore it, as a raincoat, as well as part of a fireman costume on Halloween. Leo only wore it on Halloween once because after that he was a sprinkle doughnut for a good 5 or 6 years. I couldn't bear to just pass it on to Goodwill so I gave it to a friend, my beloved Sarah Eckhardt (whom I haven't seen in WAY too long SARAH). She has three boys of her own so the raincoat has lived on. She sent this picture to me this morning and I could have cried from happiness. Funny what kicks that happiness button on sometimes, isn't it?

Thanks Sarah (and Levi)!
