Butterick 4222 - Stars!

Every time we pass the fabric department at our Walmart, Logan gently reminds me that he wants star jammies to match to pants that I made here.  I guess he finally nagged enough...
You can see how faded the pants are.  He wears them all the time.
The pattern is Butterick 4222, which I love.  It's such a great basic PJ pattern.
Logan selected both fabric and buttons, and I think they are a great match.  He really has quite the eye.
He was so pleased with his PJs that after I gave them to him, he danced around the living room, showing everyone his star buttons, and then curled up with them in our bed.  That's one happy kid!
*************************
On a personal note, today is the day of the fellowship match, so at noon we should be finding out where we'll be going next year.  Yesterday I was quite placid about it.  We have good options, so I shouldn't have any reason to worry, but I'm sort of on pins and needles now!  I'll update this post when we get the word...

ETA: We got the official word and we will be going to Salt Lake City, to the program at University of Utah!  It is a really great program and we are really excited, although it will be really hard to leave Texas and all of the family and friends that we have here.  But I won't lie, it's about 900 degrees outside right now, so I'm really excited about some milder summers!!  We won't be leaving for another year, as the fellowship begins in 2011.

I may make Alex copy-cat jammies because those are too adorable. Fingers crossed you get a good match!

He does have a great eye! I had to look hard to find the buttons, they matched that well.

Good luck with the match!

That trusting God to place us where we best need to go thing can put you on pins and needles. I'm the bag and conquer type. Can't wait to hear.

Angela said...

Those are too cute! Hehe.. I want a pair (even though I don't really wear PJs)!

Isn't it great that something so simple can make the little ones so happy. Are you and your husband going to another place since he just finished his residency?

Pam said...

Oops!! I posted that I hoped you'd go to Utah (West is fun!!) But I guess it didn't go through!! And I wanted you to get your first choice!! Hurray!! That's good news (and I hear, a great place to raise a family!). Congratulations!!

Great jammies for your little one!!! Congrats on you guys' Fellowship assignment. Salt Lake City, UT is a pretty cool city. I visited several years back for a science meeting. The snowcapped mountains in the winter are quite breathtaking and I hear they provide great skiing:)

How stinking cute is he?? AND his jammies!

Hey, my buddy Julia and her doctor husband are moving to SLC this year too! You will have to meet! (She's in TX now too. Small world!) Her blog is in my links, "Julia Blogs Like She Sees It"

Beth said...

yeah for a match!!!
Even better that it's in a beautiful place!
My sister says there's a house down the street for sale . . .
Have you found all the fabric stores on google?

Loooove your happy kid pics, the star jammies and the tinkerbell dress. Yummy perfection!

PS - I did my postdoc @ SLC/UofU, and loved my time there! Wow the SW is stunning - excellent highways, fabulous parks in every direction, skiing & skating to die for (NB, this from a Canuck!) Great, great choice!

I am excited you are coming to UT so we can meet in person! You can stay when you come look for a place to live. We aren't that close to the U, but have some great neighbors :)
