Baby Potter

Again thank you to those of you who may have remembered Mrs. Potter (LG's teacher) and her baby, in your prayers.
It is with a heavy heart that I write of his passing late yesterday afternoon.
"He is now with Jesus", Mrs. Potter said. Please remember her, Mr.Potter and their two other children as they try to put the pieces back together.

Little Girl Quilt

I finished this project at the end of summer but haven't posted yet.
Our little friend J needed a nap mat cover and pillow case for preschool this year, so I sewed her up one in an afternoon.



I then took the left over material, added a bit more scraps and made a quilt.



This side had 3" pieces and turned out alright.



This side was 6" pieces and turned out much better.
I was so glad to this and proud of myself too!
I sewed the fronts together then turned it out so I didn't have to do the binding. Still haven't got that to work yet.
And some of the non-cotton fabric wasn't fun to work with it -kept stretching and getting snagged. But I still think it's cute and little J loves it, so that's all that matters.

LG's Likes!!!

I have scrapped all day today trying to keep busy with out actually doing any work. I made 12 photoless layouts that I'm just thrilled with. LG decided he wanted to help, so we made a 'Happy' page for him.
I did this same thing with Buddy about this same time of kindergarten, so it's really nice to have started a tradition.



What makes him happy at age 5 is
Going to my Cousins House
Playing with my Friends
getting stickers at school
Waterparks
Airplane driver costume
DS
Baseball Trophy
Porkchops
Sharing
Rainbows

Love it!

Baby Potter update

Thank you to those who have remembered LG's teacher's baby. The doctors are saying that it was an interrupted SIDS and as of this morning he was in critical condition.
Mrs. Potter has requested everyone pray for a peaceful day for him and the family.
Please remember them. This is very difficult for them, our school & church and community.

Look what the Man done did!

The Man really utilized his time off this week to do some landscaping.  And I love how it turned out.  So proud of him.

He edged and filled in the area in front of the house with cool rocks.  This area was just too awkward to grow grass, so this is a perfect solution.

It makes my azalea look pretty even without blooms and when the rains come in the spring. It'll be great.

 Along the garage where Nana and Grandpa cleared out the dead shrubs this spring, he edged and filled it in with bricks and rock for our potted garden.  Love this too!

We've got our mums, tomatoes, peppers, basil and other goodies out here.

And of course Babe's rose bush.. It has managed to weather a whole summer of over 100 degrees with much watering and some shade.  It just keeps blooming. I'm grateful.

And I have to include Babe and his new hair-do!

Pray Request

LG's wonderful, wonderful kindergarten teacher Mrs. Potter's, infant son stopped breathing last night while napping. It was noticed immediately and he was rushed to the hospital.
His heart is beating on his own, but is still on a ventilator.
Please pray fro him and the family. They are truly wonderful people.

Babe's first haircut!

The time has come for Babe to look more like a little boy and cease getting called a girl.
Thankfully the Man is home this week and was able to take these photos.

He did really awesome!  I was so proud of him.  He was confused at first, but sat pretty still and let Dana do her thing.  I can't get over how different he looks.  My little Babe is growing up!
