The parents and babies have gone home. But not before a mad dash of sewing and crocheting. I made this blanket for William when the parents were here in October. I wanted to make one for each of the babies before they went back to China but I had to be sitting up to set up all the squares to sew them together. I could not do that when I was on bedrest or recovering from my c-section. So theweek before they left I crocheted the squares together, added the border, sewed the backing on and embroyerd an A for Andrew on his blanket and a M for Michael on his blanket. It was a good thing the parents stayed an extra day so that I could finish the blankets.
Karrina was also able to make a car seat blanket for Michael. It was her first time crocheting something and she did awesome! The parents were so excited that we made the blankets for the babies. The Mom always has three layers of clothes on the babies with two blankets on each one. A blanket is the best present for her!
I am doing ok with them being gone. I was a mess the day they left but before they left the Mom and I huged. She told me that she loves me and so do her boys. I was still sad but I felt the pain and sadness lift off of my chest. God knew just how to sooth my heart and he gave her the words. God is so good I am leaning on him and I can see that He is here for me. They plan on buying a house near ours when we buy a house and visiting us once a year. I know that we will see them soon and more when the boys are older. Right now I am ready to jump back into my life and see the friends that I have not seen in months.
