Mothers day is over

Wanda, that is so neat they are adopting 2 children at the same time. A young family from our church adopted from Russia also, they now have 2 precious little girls, adopted one year apart. It cost them a very large amount of money, and a long involved trip to get them, but is is so worth it!! They are all so happy and have adapted so well. I had made each girl a quilt, but never thought to do I Spy, I just made bright fun quilts for each girl. Your I Spy idea is really neat. Marilyn in Moravia.

Wanda, Good luck on your quilts! My brother and his wife adopted two children from Russia about four years ago (they were 2-1/2 and 17 months at the time). They had very little problem adapting to English. My niece (the older one) had more difficulty, simply because she was already talking, but my nephew had no problem at all. Actually, it took him a while to start talking -- I guess he just had to wait until he had something worth saying, because he hasn't stopped since!

The idea of I Spy quilts is a great one. They'll remember playing on them for years to come.

The quilts sound lovely, Wanda; and what a nice idea of yours to do them for the babies. I hope you have fun making them up. They're going to look great. . In article , Wanda writes

That sounds like a wonderful project. When do we get to see pix?
