Not much going on around here. God has blessed us with a very uneventful year with Emma so far, which is good considering the way last year went out (the ulcer hospital stay).

Emma got a afghan today from heartmadeblessings.org it was requested by my sister, Lisa. I love this program and thought I would share that link with all of you. Their site says: Heartmade Blessings is a world-wide group of volunteers dedicated to providing hand-crafted items to those people suffering a loss, tragedy, or going through a rough time that need to be reminded of the simple fact that people care.
Heartmade Blessings come from all the wonderful people who donate squares for afghans and bearghans. They are also made possible through the efforts of the warm, caring people who donate their time in assembling and organizing the distribution of these items to those in need. We truly believe these people are nothing short of a "blessing" themselves.

So if you know someone who needs a little comfort check out their page, and if you are crafty and can help make afghan squares please check out how to volunteer your time. Its a great group. We have sent afghans to our friend Jaye and to Emma's boyfriend Daniel before he passed away. We have been lucky to get this beautiful one today and a bearghan for her when she was little.

The summer has been rainy and hot here so not many out door things going on for Emma, tomorrow we will be walking to church, she hasn't been in a while due to various reasons I have had to leave her at home, I am sure she will have to much fun getting back.
