The baby has gone home

I am totally bummed that my niece and her parents have gone home to Miami.  We had the most wonderful visit with them this last week.  Zella is just an amazingly beautiful little girl.  Her smiles are just intoxicating.

I am now trying to figure out how to get them to move back here so I can see them all the time.  My only saving grace is that we will be headed down to their neck of the woods in a few months for Christmas.

Ran had so much fun with her.  He was amazing.  Every morning the first thing he would ask is if he was going to get to see Zella again after school.  I think feeding her was his favorite.  It was so wonderful to see how gentle he was with her.  To every ones amazement though he has NOT asked us about having a baby brother or sister - which is a good thing since he is going to be our one and only!

Ted, Gennis & Marczella - if you are listening - Please come home!  I promise you will never need to hire a babysitter!

This busy mommy has been busy!

Okay, so I have been out of touch for a while.

I have been super busy this summer.  Aren't summers always busy?  I spent a week helping out my cousin in Greeley, Co with her new daughter.  While there I got lots and lots of quilt blocks done.  One of these days I will actually get photos taken of them.

My baby started Kindergarten last month and totally loves it!

I spent most of my summer making loads of fun baby stuff for my cousin's baby and my new niece.

I finished a wonderful quilt last week for my niece Marczella. I used the Frolicing Baby Quilt Tutorial from Piece N Quilt with a few minor changes.  It was so much fun to do the free-motion on it! 

I was able to get the quilt done in time for their visit this week!  My son has been having a wonderful time with his new baby cousin!
