We Are Enjoying The Beautiful Weather!

We have been having some beautiful weather here in Manitoba! We have been soaking up every minute. It's been a while since we have had this many days of sun in a row. It's supposed to be +20 and sunny again tommorow! I think it will be a park day :)

Tiny tot LOVES being pulled and pushed by her uncle's and auntie's on her motorcycle. She gets rather cranky if someone takes her off! ...

Happy sunny day....

Even Isha loooves being out of the house. Doesn't she look happy?...


Aunty Eee pulled out grandma and grandpa's baby swing. At first it was a little scary but now tiny tot love being pushed in the swing...


Wheeee! ...


Today was a little bit of a sad day. It is the 2 year anniversary of our miscarriage. It certainly was a day to reflect on the experiences that we have gone through since we've been married. A few sad times, but so many happy times. We have a strong love and a beautiful baby girl. We are so blessed. And I don't know if it matters in heaven, but it's a comfort to me that our teeny tiny baby is up there with aunty Darc.

Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

No more tears or death or crying or pain!

Help! We need a name!

I know what you are thinking.... No, we do not need a name for a new puppy or baby! I have been working on a little project lately and they are going to be sold at a sale at the end of this month. They are small baby blankets. The kind that infants and toddlers get attached too. The "never leave home without it or the baby will not sleep" kind of blanket.
On the one side they are silky to mimic the feel of the mothers womb. I don't know who figured out that the inside of the womb is silky feeling, but that's what I've been told. The other side is a minky fabric, very plush and soft. I added three different tags with different textures. Babies always seem to go for the tag so I decided to add some. One is silky, one is black and white (babies most recognizable colors) and one is small to add some interest. I have also added a soother clip, which can be used as a toy if baby doesn't use a soother.
I have made 3 different patterns so far. Two for girls and one for boys.

This is the original one I made for tiny tot...

Then I made this one for a friends new baby boy...






And I made this one for one of tiny tot's friends...







So they need a name! And I need your help! I've been thinking about it for a while but it's hard to compete with all the other fancy baby blankets out there. You've got the Taggies, the Sherpa's, the Cocalo's, the Zabba's, and the Petunia Pickle Bottom blankets! Any suggestions? I need something catchy and fun. And if I pick your name, I will send one to you. Whether or not you have a baby! :) Post your suggestion below!

I thought this text was applicable for Easter Monday, to keep us focused on what is in store for us! What a rich comfort it was that Christ died on the cross for OUR sins!
John 6:39-40 "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of
all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's
will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have
eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
