and had a great time!

Thank you everyone for coming over, for the

presents and for a wonderful birthday.

Grandma's Quilt

A quilt is a blanket of love stitched by Grandma's hands
both Grandma's love and Grandma's quilt
soft enough to comfort,
bright enough to cheer,
generous enough to enfold you,
light enough to let you move freely,
strong enough to withstand adversity,
and durable enough to last a lifetime.
A special gift of squares and strips
so sweet and everlasting.

Little bits of fabric

Sewn into a quilt

Form a warm and loving blanket

From which memories are built.

And when you seek peace and comfort

In the quiet of the night

It will keep you warm and snug

Until the morning's light.

A family is like a Patchwork Quilt
Each member is a piece of the total design.
They fit together as the pattern is built
With each new-born addition that is added in time.

My baby quilt... to warm my toes when I am young

and warm my heart when I am old.

Thank you Grandma Jane!

The quilt you made Paul is a

beautiful and lasting treasure.

So snuggly

Any time Paul is within Lucy's reach

she takes the opportunity to lick, sniff

and snuggle by him.

I chased Lucy away so many times the first few days

that now she jumps down

when she hears me coming,

so it was hard to get a good picture.

Samantha made us this cozy blanket that
Paul loves.

Thank you, Sam!

Posing

When the camera comes out...

this is what James and Noelle do.

Lazy Sunday

Today Paul woke up,

ate

took a nap,

ate some more...

And then fell asleep watching the race with dad.

Lounging
