Look who's smiling!!!!

Saiji started smiling a couple days ago. My mom got a couple of shots of him smiling on her camera but now I finally captured the smile too. I was so glad that she was able to see Saiji's smile before she left to Myanmar. Oh and the amazingly wonderful quilt that Saiji is on is a quilt that my Auntie Audrey made for him. This was the best surprise for me, all the material is from my Grandmas...it's from the 60's and 70's. I wanted to have a post on it's own of Auntie Audrey's wonderful quilting talent...which I will because there is another one that I need to share. Thanks again Auntie Audrey for the quilts we love them!!!

I wish I could get out of the haze and cold and be here again......

Time with the Family

It was so nice to have everyone here for Christmas. We also had Saiji's blessing so that all my brothers could be there for it. Anthony did such an amazing job.

It was so great to have all my brothers and Dad in the circle.
