No More Teenagers...Happy Birthday, Peter!

 Ah, was it really 20 years ago?  Doesn't seem possible!   Today is my youngest son Peter's 20th birthday!!  Above was the sonogram that was done around 3 months...he was cute even then!
 I was so happy when he was born!!  He was a bit of a trouble maker playing with the umbilical cord!!  He kept the medical staff on their toes!!  But he was born healthy at 9 pounds 2 ounces!
 Always the happy third child along for the ride!!  Such a smiley guy!  Always having fun!  Below is our happy little family!!  Wow, we were so young then!!  Those kiddos kept us busy!
Now Peter is a college guy with a cool girlfriend!!!  Happy Birthday, my guy!!  And many happy, successful years ahead!!!

Faith, Hope, Love...

I finally finished something cross stitch for a change!  I feel like I've been ignoring my stitching lately, so decided on this Midnight Stitching design called Quaker Faith, Hope, Love.  The designer's blog can be found here: http://midnightstitching.wordpress.com/
Above was stitched with Gentle Arts Sampler Thread in blue "Freedom."
Hope was stitched in a creamy "Oatmeal."
And Love in a rich, red "Cranberry."
I just love how it all turned out!!  And very uplifting in its meaning...
