Chirp! Chirp!

A new little friend joined my two blocks yesterday:

This is the mini I'm contemplating using for October's STUD.  KT took me to a quilt fair this spring and I bought the sashing fabric there.  I can't even remember the name of it, but I used it for my front swing pillow too this summer.

Almost all of the neighborhood kids end up at our house over summer vacation.  Most of them end up on the swing.  For the little ones who like to lay down, I made a soft, cushy and happy pillow for them to rest their heads on.

Baby Isaac should be in surgery now to correct his heart defect.  It's about an 8-10 hr procedure.  Prayers for the family are deeply needed and appreciated.

Baby Isaac Update:  9:15 am just told they were taking him back and it would be about an hour before the surgery begins.

Further update!  Isaac is out of surgery.  It's about 5:00 here and my mom just called a short while ago with the news.  He did very well, Mommy and Daddy are with him now.  Thank you for all your prayers!

Kiss your kids!  Hug them tight!
