This beautiful fabric and equally lovely blessing are from Rebecca at Our Little Owen (password protected). She and I became fast friends when she did our amazing blog redesign in January (I am still crazy about it!). I am so grateful for our friendship, she has taught me so much by her example of following His plan, instead of our own :)

This beautiful bamboo fabric (and appropriately coordinated and extremely eloquent blessing) are from Auntie Kris at Tell Her This. Kris and I have been friends since we were DTC together in February 2005. She is SO close to receiving her referral from the waiting child program, I feel like an anxious auntie for the fast-approaching big day! I can't wait!!
Thank you so much for your love and support over the years, Kris... we love you :)

My helpers

Every time these guys see me pull out the camera and NOT take pictures of them, they run in, begging for me to take pictures of them! How could I resist these faces?!?
