I had such a treat this morning! I got to see some very dear friends that have been living overseas for two years now. Amber and I went to college together and spent many hours studying and student teaching together. She and her husband have been on some amazing adventures over the past two years and I was so thrilled when they told me they would be back in the States for a month or so this Holiday season! While they were overseas, God brought an amazing blessing into their lives, and her name is Layla. wow, is she gorgeous!!! And she has the bluest eyes I've ever seen!! She was so fun to play with this morning and kept staring at me with the most beautiful smile ever!! Amber and Casey, it was such a gift for me to see you and hear your stories this morning! I can't wait to see what God does in your lives next!! Much love to you both!! Here's your sneak peak…
even though these are not the sweet smiley expressions Layla gave me at first, I had to post these b/c this blanket was handmade by her grandmother and is so so cool!!!! It's all from the Eric Carle book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear".
