Sara's Plaque

This is the plaque that is in the ground under Sara's tree. I finally got over and had a camera to take a picture. I love how it turned out.

A new one- by me.

I recently finished this lapghan. I used the left over yarn from Connor's baby blanket. It is nice colors and a larger size good for a man. The colors I made my first lapghan from are kinda bright and girly so I had to even things out a bit. I've been having a hard time making lapghans.. not sure why . I know I need to get going again. During the move my hubby had the totes full of lapghans donated to date and that kinda sparked me to finish this one. Thank you to everyone who has helped me. I'm still here and still plugging along. Please note the new address on the blog. I'm still accepting donations of any kind. Still hard at work trying to get Sara's goal accomplished but I think she was right 2010 is realistic. Lil bugger was a smart one for her age. I still miss her everyday. Hard to believe she would be graduating 8th grade next month if she was still with us. Aly keeps me going we will enjoy her school successes. But thought of Sara are always right on the edge of the surface.. the what if's. They can make you crazy, in good and bad ways.

Yesterday was another reminder.

I really wanted to do a post on here yesterday. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Sara would've turned 14. With all the happiness around the family with the birth of Connor we still paused to remember we should be celebrating Sars's second year of being a teenager. She was just heading into womanhood when she was taken from us. I was looking forward to so many things with her getting older. School dances and such. She so enjoyed going to see plays in Chicago. Wicked was her favorite. I never got to see Wicked but she did!! Twice I believe.
Happy Birthday Saraboo. Aunt Sue loves and misses you, thank you for helping your mom and dad and the rest of the family heal by picking out Connor for us to love. God must have great plans for him. We know you helped send him to us.

Happy Birthday!!

Connor William came into the world this morning at 2:06 am. He weighed 8lb 10 oz. Mom and baby are doing great. Mom also said he doesn't look like his sister or brother. I can't wait to go see him this afternoon. I will post pictures asap.

Still here... hope you are also.

Well this new baby has taken my free time and will probably continue to do so once he arrives. Sara's new baby brother is due to arrive at anytime! His blanket has been very time consuming but my sister loves it and is so grateful. I will post a photo once it's complete.

I think of Sara all the time and know how excited she would be about the new baby. That reassures me that she is ok with Aunt Sue taking a little break from making our blankets. I have a bunch of squares to sew together. I have them in a box ready to go. I also have a good supply of left over yarn in (male) colors I plan to use soon.

I thought Sara was way off with her 2010 target date. The more I think about it she was right on target! Miss you sweety.. I know you are watching over us all!!
