As Christmas apporaches and thoughts of fetivities begin, I find myself dreading the arrival of Santa Claus for the first time in my life. We were at Toys'R'Us on the weekend, and as luck would have it, I ran into at least 2 women who looked like they were ready to "pop" !! My first thought was "AHHH, a baby for Christmas, how wonderful!" Then the second thought quickly crept in "I want Emily for Christmas!!!"
Since we are going to visit Sean's mother, we have decided not to put up a tree this year... THANK GOD! In the boxes of ornaments is a small mitten ormanent that I purchased last year and wrote "see you next year Emily." There is NO way I could look at that. It's enough that I see it in my mind's eye. The trip will be a good distraction... hopefully...
Updates should be coming this week...

Quilt of Wishes
I've received some questions about my quilt of wishes, so I'll try to clarify.
All I am asking for is a small piece of material, 8" x 8". It can be ANY materials you have at home. On a separate little note card, write your wishes for Emily - remember, if you want to see an example, go to www.quiltofwishes.com. At the bottom of the note, stick a small (can be finger nail size) piece of your material. I will take all the notes and put them in a scrap book, and I will take the pieces of material and sow a quilt. Later, Emily will be able to take the scrap book, read the wishes, and find the matching square on her quilt.
Sorry if this sounded like it was more complicated than that... It really wasn't mean to be.
