Little Sprouts...

I think green is my favorite color at the moment. It's the color of hope. The color of growth and renewal. Maybe it's also because we had so much snow, and I cannot wait to see the grass and the veggies grow in our garden. I wrote a blogpost on the NaturalKids team blog about our new raised gardenbeds that we built over springbreak. I am hoping we are done with snow and blizzards for now...

In preparation for my trip to Germany I made another little green blanket doll for a baby. In fact, I made a couple since I thought somebody might need one while I am gone, right? These first dolls are always such a great joy to make & give. I can't put into words how happy I am to finally be able to give one to my babysister.

Everybody in the family was getting worried that she may never have kids. I am not saying that everybody needs to have kids. There are folks who just may not be able to or want kids for whatever reason. It is hard for us who have kids to imagine life without them. We don't want the people who we you love so much to miss out on this experience. For years I have felt this kind of anguish. With each year passing and the biological clock ticking you have to stop, stop, stop yourself. Don't ask! It may be too painful for them...

I am so excited for my little sister and can't wait for this little bundle of joy to arrive.
