#89 This little ladybug square was given to us by another new friend in our First Friday group - Jay and Angela who just brought their PRECIOUS little Laney home. We are so happy for them and it made me smile to see their "gotcha day" proudly posted on their wish!









#85-88 Are all very super cool bright fabrics picked out and sent to me by my cousin Lynn and her children Brent, Allyse and Arielle. The cool color palate wish directed at us stated "we cannot wait to see what a mark your rich lives will leave on Mei-mei" However, we cannot wait to see what a mark SHE leaves on US!!! My favorite was this bright daisy square! Thanks guys!!


#83 and 84 are also from Erik's side of the family (yes they are finally coming in!!) The first cool dark blue one (below) is from his Sister Cherilyn and her husband Steve. It is a piece of fabric brought from Japan where they met and lived. I really love the design on this one! The second (not pictured) was from a t-shirt that all three of her girls wore as a baby. Steve works with Caterpillar hence the significance of that one. Also, their oldest is adopted from Kazakhstan and the middle one was born in England which makes them a "three corner family" as well!!


#82 Is a square from Erik's uncle Jeff and aunt Marlene in CA. This is who we got to visit when we took our trip out there recently. We treasured our time with them since it is so infrequent that we get to see them. We are glad they are so sweet and supportive.

#81 Is from my other bestest bud and long time friend Dana and her family. Dana and I were roommates in college and went through nursing school together (oh the stories...) This little square is so appropriate because she loves black cats and this has the smug faces of cats all over it. We have gone through SO MUCH together and I am thankful to have a friend like her to continue in our journey. She wished for our daughter to find a forever friend such as what we have become - Awww - Thanks!

#80 The Asian fan print is from our bestest buds - the Bowling family. Maggie and Alan along with their 3 daughters are waiting for their little boy to come home to them from China. We can't believe we are actually DOING this process "together". The only thing that would make it better is if we traveled to China together. - Look out China if that ever happened!!!


#79 Is a sweet little square of little Chinese children on Chinese New Year. It was given to us by some new friends in our First Friday group Mark and Rebecca. They are also waiting for their Chinese treasure, Claire along with a tummy baby coming soon.
