Memorial Day

I hope everyone is having a sunny, wonderful Memorial Day, remembering those who gave their lives for our freedoms we take for granted every single day!

And God bless the families of our brave men and women of the armed forces! WE LOVE YOU!

And now, something most of us knitters already knew!

Happy Mother's Day! And Helping HEATHER...

We live in a world where we all have the opportunity to mother and love those around us. I pray that we will do that today and every day this week. Let us all be kinder, gentler, speak with love, forgive those we perceive to have wronged us, stop holding grudges, but instead, reach out with kindness, and do something nice for someone, even someone who might not 'deserve' such love.

I also want to share an opportunity to help a young mom whom you have never met.

She is my friend Heather, who is fighting a brave battle with cancer. She has 2 little boys who need her. There is a short term fundraiser going on till the 18th May, and if you can help it will be greatly appreciated. Their insurance is not covering thousands of dollars which they will have to pay out of pocket.

On Friday and Saturday (8 and 9) we held a yard sale to help with this cause too.

If you can simply include Heather in your prayers, that would really be wonderful too!

The Lord Bless you on this special day to honor your mom. May you feel His love as you care for others.

HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE!

Welcome Owen!

Here are the little 'scratch mitts' in case you need to make a few pairs! :)

Welcome to the world little Owen!

Mike came to pick me up from BYU Women's Conference on Friday May 1st, and while we were driving up to visit our son Chris and his wife Danielle, she went into labor! Owen Heath Qualheim was born May 2, 2009 and is healthy and strong. He is totally adorable too! And no, I am not biased at all, even though I am his granny!

Here is his handsome daddy Christopher, and little Owen who is just adorable! I couldn't get enough of his tiny, newborn sweetness. He definitely arrived "trailing clouds of glory" from heaven.

And here he is with Danielle his beautiful mama. Yes, this was taken a few hours after she gave birth! I sure didn't look like that after I had my babies. :)

I am still feeling so blessed to have been nearby when Owen was born, so we could see him right away. What a 'tender mercy' from the Lord for both Mike and me.




And Grandma loves you little one.










So does Grandpa! It was really great to see him with this little boy. I was so out-of-it after I had my babies that I don't remember much of Mike just soaking up that newborn essence. Love you Mike!! You are just the best dad and grandpa.





And one last one with his eyes open, laying on his 'Boppy'!

HUG the ones you love!!
