Riley's Field Trip to the Quilt Museum

These were taken while on Riley's field trip. The quilts were the ones we liked best. We found out afterwards that we weren't supposed to be taking pictures.

Riley's Play

These pictures were from Riley's class play. It was really cute. Riley was one of the sheep.

Cortney

Cortney had to go to the hospital last night. She was contracting. She is 30 weeks along, the baby is over 2 pounds, but the longer we can go, the better for the baby. Cort has dilated to 2 cm. and is 30% effaced.
Cort got home about 4:00 this morning. I talked to her at 11:00. She'd gotten about 5 hours of sleep, the contractions have stopped, but she's still in a lot of pain.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Play Day

Yesterday was too nice to stay home, so I borrowed the girls for the afternoon. We went and feed the ducks and geese, and then went to the playpark. I'd brought their scooters, but Alexandra refused to ride hers. She can only ride in the house on carpet (just ask her!). The little playground is being refurbished, so Alexandra played on the big playground. Riley rode her scooter on the bumps. Later, Alexandra wanted to be on the bumps, too - so she ran behind Riley. Goofy girl!

I told her I wanted a picture of her riding on it, and Alexandra agreed to "pose" with her scooter.

Pay It Forward Exchange

This came from Cortney, from Rachel. The 3 who comment on my blog, please give me some suggestions of what you'd like. Or else you might be getting lime green potholders!!! (unless you want the lime green potholders)

This is how it works: The Pay it Forward Exchange is based off of the concept from the movie "Pay it Forward". I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who comment on this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF Exchange. All the gifts will be made and sent out some time within this year. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive! What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your own blog. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ON YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO 3 PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG. I'd love for you to join me. Will you? Other comments are welcome but only the first three will be my Pay it Forward recipients. Come and join me, who doesn't love a gift or giving gifts???
