Recent Blankets for Uganda

Blankets, quilts whatever you want to call them, they are adding up for Uganda. I couldn't be more tickled. I have received some from others already and know of several more in the making.

God is doing something really neat through this.

We have no idea as of right now if our home will ever be graced with an Ugandan child, but we are certain that he is growing our love for them.

I want to encourage those of you who are sewing for these babies to keep it up! Together we are making a difference.

Here are the recent quilts/blankets made:

This one was is from a woman I do not even know. She is a friend of a friend. Check out her etsy shop here.


Below are my February and March blankets.


If you know of friends that sew, please pass along this cause. Together we can send 50 quilts to these precious children who are desperately in need.

Kidisms

Both Samuel and Joseph have been saying the most hilarious/adorable things lately.

First, Joseph's vocabulary has gotten just too much. It's so cute. He now uses the word frustrated all the time. He either tells us how he's frustrated or is asking others if they are frustated. A few weeks ago it was 'rustrated' but now it's normal.

Some of his other words that I love to hear are:
be-pause : because
praw-bee-bee : probably
delicious, which he actually says correctly, but it's so cute coming from a 2 year old.

Andy was holding the boys on his lap and commented to me: "look at these people, where did they come from?" Joseph quickly responded "From mommy. From mommy's tummy. We popped out!"

Recently the boys have become obessed with our wedding rings. They want to see them all the time. Samuel said the other day: "Daddy has ring because he's pregnant to mommy!"

Sitting at the dinner table Samuel says: "Joe Joe, you are the cutest fellow I have never seen." Then Joseph says very forcefully: "NO, I am not a fellow I am a BOY!" Then Samuel responds: "NO, you are a fellow!" And then they continued back and forth for about 10 rotations until we changed the subject.

Another night at the dinner table Joseph says: "Ahh, it's too hot for babies. You blown on it?" Andy and I just crack up laughing. Then Joseph realizes that we're laughing starts cracking up too. Slamming his hand down on the table says: "It's so funny I say that word!"

Puddle Jumping

The boys celebrated the beginning of Spring puddle jumping:
