blessed

this is my friend, cathryn achilles. i have known cathryn for about 11 years. she is now 16. cathryn has been diagnosed with Ataxia-telangiectasia. which i cannot pronounce! it is commonly referred to as AT. you can read her story here: webpages.charter.net/jachilles.

when cathryn and her siblings were younger, i used to babysit for them once in awhile. now they are growing up so fast and it's been a privilege to see them become the young adults they are now! last week i was in hollister and i was able to spend some time with her and her family. cathryn greatly surprised me by making a quilt for my baby!! (looks like she thinks it might be a girl too!) needless to say, i cried when she gave me (us) this incredible gift!! thank you, cahtryn!!







i have also been blessed by all of you. i know that you have seen the pictures on this website: blessingyouyou.blogspot.com and i can't thank all of you enough for your gifts!! i set up the crib, you know, just to test it out. and the quilt looks wonderful in the crib! thank you, colleen!!
thank you all for the presents and for your support!



***disclaimer*** just because we have pictured here two winnie-the-pooh bears DOES NOT mean i want to run with that theme!! i'm much more for the vintage piratey and cowboy (girl?) things if we have to do themes at all! :)
