Mike, Genette, Clayton, Zachary, Austin and Sydney

My cousin Genette and her family sent two squares and a cute scrapbook page.

Thanks guys!



George, Veronica, Gabriel and Elianna



My cousin George and his wife, Veronica and kids sent two squares along with this cute poem:

O precious one
We wanted you, we dreamed of you,
We prepared for you, we spoke of you.
We waited for you, we loved you.

And on the day we brought you home,
An awesome wonder filled our hearts

For you were the most beautiful gift
We had ever been given.

The most perfect dream
that had ever come true.

Gregory, Tatiana, Alexander and Payson


My cousin Gregory and his family picked a John Deere square because their little boy, Alexander loves tractors. Not surprising, considering his family heritage :)

Matt, Michelle, Sarah and Benjamin







Michael's brother Matt and his family sent 3 cute squares. I love what Matt and Michelle wrote! I'm so glad our baby will have an adopted buddy in the family.

Eric, Natalie, Savannah and Olivia

I got two fabric squares in the mail from my cousin Eric and his family a couple of days ago. They live in Utah. They have two daughters so their house is definitely girly.

They chose a pink and a purple square for the quilt.


Uncle Ken, Aunt Gloria and Gang


I got a cute square from my dad's sister and her family.

My favorite memory with them is staying on a house boat at Lake Powell a couple summer's ago.

The Captain

The Crew

Dad

Gloria


They sent a quote and a scripture to go with the square.

"We can do not great things; only small things with great love."
- Mother Teresa

"Above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace."
- Doctrine and Covenants 88:125

Grandma Mc Crea



I went shopping with Michael's mom and grandma a little while ago and helped Grandma choose her squares. She wrote a sweet poem to go with it.

Mommy loves you very much -
From your head down to your toes,
She made this blanket just for you
To keep you warm if a cool breeze blows.
With patches from loving friends and kin
This special blanket she did begin.
As Daddy watched her make some stitches
He added his love and hugs and kisses.

Isn't that too cute!
