New Grandchild

I am a Grandma again.


Last week I flew to Canada to be with my daughter Parla and her family.  I made this quilt for Asher while I was there.


When Asher's sister Brighton was born I made her this quilt.  While I was in Canada this time I operated on the giraffe.

I gave him new eyes and a new nose.

Now the giraffe  looks much better.

We had a "Come meet the new baby party" on Sunday.

Brighton always likes to be in on all the action.

And she loves to be read to by Dave her daddy.

While I was in Canada Dave started framing their house and by the end of the week the tar paper was on the roof and the windows were in.
Thanks Dave and Parla for a wonderful time in Canada.  I just loved being with your precious family.
