It's An Original.

Ok, definitely one of my favorite pics of Gabe. One of my best friends, Tami Lyons made this adorable Cars-Cars blanket and pillow for Gabe. He LOVES it.

We have a funny story about this awesome blanket. When we were on the plane heading to Arizona, Greg was sitting next to a guy that noticed Gabe's blanket and an interesting conversation took place:

Guy: "Wow, that blanket is so cute. My son loves Cars. Where did you find it?"

Greg (eagerly giving a sarcastic response): "Oh, well, they're really hard to find. It's a local artist in Illinois. She's really pricey. She does a great job, but she's in high demand."

Guy: "Oh." (sulking a wee bit...) "Well, what's the name? Could I maybe get one?"

Greg (loving every minute of this): "Well, it's a Tamilyon's original. There's only one like it."

Guy: "Oh".

It was just so funny. Greg couldn't resist calling Tami to tell her that he had totally talked her up to this guy. Tami, it is an original... you da' bomb-diggity. Gabe loves it and we all love you!

hahaha that is so funny what Greg said to that guy! tell him that i commend him risky attempt at trickery...i mean, what if the guy had suddenly flipped out at the crushing notion that there weren't anymore of tamilyon's sweet car pillows left and started making demands of the pilot...all heck could have broken loose. still, kudos to greg for taking the risk anyway, it was really funny! i don't know if i would have been able to keep a straight face :) oh, and btw, your son is so adorable! i love that pic you took of him sleeping! i hope you and the family are doing well!
