In April, I took my boys to Cedar Rapids to attend my beautiful cousin Keile’s wedding. At the reception, with each place card, there were a package of flower seeds. This seemed to resonate with Monroe & Lennon. They thought it was the coolest thing, from the mini clothes pin (which they still have and I've had to put back together again more times than I want to remember), their names actually printed on the card to show where they sit, and the idea of planting something and watching it grow.
