Sigh,

I have so much catching up to do, I don't know where to start. This summer was filled with wonderful visits to children and grandchildren. I feel like I should post all sorts of pictures, I know the few people who follow my blog are the parents of those very same beautiful babies. The pictures would probably be their own!

Ariana on her blessing day!

Kevin in the bathtub!

Elena making friends at Old Navy!

Okay, so I couldn't resist!


This summer I also finished a few quilts, thanks to incentive deadlines by my favorite quilt store. Maybe I will put up pictures of those, too.

This is David's Astronomy quilt. The pattern is called "Turning Twenty Again."

I bought the fabric for this one about four years ago and just started it this spring. It's called "Mosaic Garden" and is for the guest room bed (as soon as we get the mattress!)

This is a baby quilt made from scraps left over from the Mosaic Garden, so I guess it is for baby guests.



This was from a class I took at my favorite quilt store. It is called "Belgian Waffle."

I didn't even know when I got this kit that it had pigs all over it!

This is a quilt using the technique of English Paper Piecing. It is my first attempt at it and I worked on it off and on for about the last 4 years!

So, it was quite a summer!

Grandbabies

This post is going to take a while to compose. I am holding my 12 day old grandson, Kevin, and trying to type with one hand. Kevin is sound asleep, as is his mother on the couch.

This is heaven - a warm, snuggly baby cuddling up with me.

We have 3 grandchildren now. Elena is a marvel and adjusting to her new brother well.

Kevin seems to be growing and developing overnight. He already looks different than he did at birth; and is making marvelous attempts to hold his head up. I moved the mobile over his portacrib around slowly yesterday, and he followed the motions with his eyes.

Ariana is a beauty that we cannot wait to see in person. That will happen in just a week. We are very grateful for all the pictures!

We have been so blessed with wonderful, loving, honorable children and their perfect, happy, healthy offspring.

Yes, this is heaven!
