Wild Weather!

Well I am not too good at getting these photo's in the right place!! That is Jesse up the top with Joseph underneath

And here are Primrose and Magnolia

We have had storms here in the UK today. My husband took our car down to the coast for a college retreat so I had to get buses to a course I was doing today.....I was drenched by the time I returned home. I managed to get these two little suits finished for the twins...can't wait to see them on! I am going to add some more photo's of all my grandchildren, they are just so beautiful!

More quilts & Family stuff

Well today is our day off.. Sunday's are pretty hectic, we have begun an outreach in the local leisure centre in the afternoon between the morning and evening services at church. On Mondays we usually go out so we are away from the telephone!

Amy & Andy's wedding quilt Primrose & Magnolia's Quilts

Today we have done some hedge trimming and I will do some quilting this afternoon. I have just begun a quilt group at our church so I have to keep up with sewing so I don't lag behind the rest of the group!

Next week I will be on half term break from school (I teach pre school children with special needs) so we are off down to Devon to visit Amy & Andy and our baby granddaughters, I cant wait!

Our eldest daughter Vashti and her husband Martin live in South Africa, they are missionaries, if you are interested please check out their website www.projecto.org.za They were over with their adopted sons Joseph & Jesse for Christmas

Our eldest son Ben works as a photographer in London and our youngest, Dominic is getting married to Alice in September.

I am reading a book at the moment by Warren Wiersbe called 'Be Encouraged' its a study on 2 Corinthians, this is what I read this morning from 2Cor 12:7-8 'The Lord knows how to balance our lives. If we have only blessings, we may become proud; so He permits us to have burdens as well. Paul's great experience in heaven could have ruined his ministry on earth; so Go, in His goodness, permitted Satan to buffet Paul in order to keep him from becoming proud.' We have had a number of difficulites in the past and I can testify to this fact..that God is always in control, He always upholds us through those difficult times and brings us out the other side having learnt more and been able to trust Him more...if we just hang on to the fact that He is the Almighty!

Twins

Some years ago God told my daughter Amy that she would have twins I also had two dreams that she had twins so earlier this year when she became pregnant we were all very excited and even more so when she and her husband Andy went for an emergency scan and there THEY were!! On November 13th Primrose Noel & Magnolia Boo weighing in at 7lb 7oz & 7lb 15oz. I praise God for His wonderful blessing and for fulfilling HIs promise.

Joseph & Jesse

We have just returned from our trip to South Africa to visit Vashti, Martin and the boys. Joseph is now 22 months old, Vashti & Martin adopted him when he was 2 months, they adopted Jesse when he was 5 months and he is now 11 months old. They are a delight and I thank God for choosing them to be a part of our family.

This is the quilt that I made for my Grandson, Jesse.
