Enjoying Spring

I have been keeping very busy. It's a bit exhausting watching a 2 yr. old and a 9 month old. Abigail, the 9 month old is now pulling herself up and walking along furniture. Like all babies, she's discovered dog food, oh my!
I have been very busy trying to get as much quilting and scrapbooking done. It's so hard to keep up with all the kids and events,  but I'm trying. I am continuing doing quilts for the Quilts For Kids organization. I just sent two off for them to give to a sick child. I only hope it can bring a little comfort to someone special and helps their recovery go well.
Another goal I have is to make a quilt for every one of my nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. There are twelve nieces and nephews and nine great nieces and nephews. I think that should keep me busy for awhile. I'll try to post all of them as I get them done or get a chance to.


I hope that everyone had a blessed Memorial Day Weekend and honored those who have served our country so unselfishly so that we may enjoy the freedoms to be and American citizen. God Bless!

Can't Keep up

I just can't seem to keep up with this blog stuff. I am going to try to do better. There just seems to be so much going on and so much to do.
Since my last post, I have a new granddaughter, Abigail JoLee. She came into the world a little early. She was 8 lbs 6 oz. I believe. Her and mommy had a rough start, but she is very healthy and much happier now. I will post pics of her growth soon. She was 21 inches long, so she is going to be a big girl. She already towers over any other children around her age. She has blonde hair that is finally growing in and the prettiest blue eyes.
My oldest granddaughter, Alyssa, turned 2 yrs. old in March. She's getting so big and keeps us laughing. She is starting to put more words together, so we can understand her much better now. I'm so lucky to have the priviledge to babysit them during the week.
My husband and I are enjoying them so much that we have decided to move back closer to the kids and grandkids. We hope that everything works out as planned.
I am still sewing quilts and scrapbooking. I'm not getting as much scrapbooking done as I would like, but again, I'm trying to do better. I will post some pics of the quilts that I have finished for my great nieces very soon also.
I guess that's all for now. Hopefully my next post won't take so long to appear. I hope everyone has a blessed spring!
