hoping to get caught up ....someday!

yes folks...we have more squares than are posted.

We are not quite at the 100, but we do have several more than need to be photo'd and added to the blog.

Of course life w/ the boys keeps us pretty busy these days...but I am going to make it a mission to try to get them on here and to eventually get a quilt made for each of our little guys!

squares 19 through 24!

"Good Luck"

These squares were sent from my Aunt Pat Brodie. She sent a great booklet to help explain how to make the quilt! When Scott and I were home for Thanksgiving, I cornered her and begged for any ideas she had as she is an experienced quilter and I have never done one in my life! Thanks Pat for all your help! And we love the nice bright colors of the fat squares you sent!

squares #15,16,17, and 18

This is a beautiful fabric! And we love the sentiments!

We knew we would have to find something that really stood "fore" Daddy on the quilt, we are so glad you found this material! We think your play on words is super cute!

I have always loved Pooh!

If anyone is need of a smile the below link plays winnie-the-pooh's music!

Winnie-the-Pooh,

Winnie-the-Pooh,

Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.

He's Winnie-the-Pooh.Winnie-the-Pooh.

Willy, nilly, silly, old bear

As I have said before, I seem to have a frog fetish and everyone knows about it! They are too cute!

In Chinese culture the butterfly

symbolizes love and it is said if a

butterfly lands on you, you will have

much happiness.....by placing a butterfly

on the baby quilt, our wish is that you

will always be blanketed in happiness

and love....

Of course we couldn't leave out other fabrics
that would have meaning to our family and
yours....
Golf- "Fore" your Daddy and because
Mommy and Daddy are so "fore"tunate to
have you
Pooh-Because it rhymes with "we love you"
(and for my favorite sister, your Mommy,
whom I have called "Pooh" forever)
And Frogs-because we are so "Hoppy" that
you will be part of our lives.
The above wish page done is by my "favorite" sister Christina! Those of you who know us well, know that Christina is my only sister- it's a long standing joke in our family!
Thank you so much Christina, Christopher and Dillon! We love how you included the family photo on the wish page (Go Red Sox!) I love the idea so much when I put together the album with all the wishes I am going to try to include as many photos as I can find from the givers of the wishes!
-ps thank you for the beautiful silk memory album that you gave us to start the wish book!

SQUARE #14

Dragonflies represent new light and joy.
Just as you will bring new light
and joy into your parents lives.
Always remember... Life is never quite the way it appears,
but is always filled with light and joy.
We hope you always see the light and joy of life.
Love always,
Laurie, Eddie, Britney, Aubrey, Caleb, and Cameron

This wish card and square came from my cousin Laurie, her husband Eddie and their children. It is so beautiful! Both Laurie's and her mom's (Jocey's) wishes bring tears to my eyes. We want to thank you so much!

SQUARE #13

Your Parents prayed each night and day,
For a light of love to come their way.
Here you are a shining star,
Whose light will never fade away.
Welcome to the family
Hugs and Kisses
Jocey Ray & Family

My Aunt Jocey, Uncle Ray, and Family gave us this great square when we were home visiting for Thanksgiving. The square is beautiful as are the sentiments that are on the card. And they are ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Thank you all so much!

SQUARE #12

Great Grammy is wishing you
a happy time with your doggy
I know you'll love him too
because Mummy and Daddy do.

This square is another from my Grammy Brodie. It is so sweet that she thought to send one about our dog! Thank you Grammy!

SQUARE #11

Great Grammy wishes

you will love all kinds of outdoor fun

playing games with Dad

and gardening with Mum.

This is another super adorable square that was sent from my Grammy Brodie. Aren't the old-fashioned kids sweet!

She sent enough material just in case we needed two squares, and after we cut the material I'll add a piece to the card so our little one will be able to look at the quilt and then look at the "wish book" and figure out who sent this piece.

Thank you so much Grammy!
