Where Babies are Welcomed

At most any Morley reunion, if there isn't a baby it is hardly a reunion!

Now that we are about done with grandkids, the great grands are starting up!

Crystal got this one to sleep on Thanksgiving Day!

 

Amaris, who still has a heart to serve even though she is bedridden, spearheaded a project for the girls for Lifeline Gifts the day after Thanksgiving. All manner of new baby items had been gathered by the cousins to arrange into gift packs for a ministry in St. Louis for expectant mothers who choose life.

This ministry in St. Louis, Missouri, was thrilled to get news of the girls' project and welcomes the baby care gifts.

The girls gathered in Amaris's home over the noon hour and helped unpackage, sort, organize, and put together gift packs.

The packages include everything from tiny diapers to onesies to blanket to pacifier to a little fuzzy toy.A blanket wraps everything up and then a toy is tied into the package.

I took my mom over for just a few minutes that day so she and I both could get a glimpse of what was going on before getting back to get some lunch for my dad.

I am so glad my daughters and nieces could participate in this project at Thanksgiving time!

You can learn more about the ministry Amaris is trying to spearhead at www.lifelinegifts.com.

And of course, different ones of the girls and moms prepared a delightful little luncheon along with the project. I'm not sure what happened to the picture. It disappeared off here.

Above is the group of girls that had such a good time together!

Here is Candace with Jed and Rosalie's little Levi, and Susanna with Gabriel and Elizabeth's baby Elianna.

Kezia's little ones have grown up so big they are now singing with their mom! We so enjoyed their beautiful song Sunday morning in the log chapel.

Another little boy that is growing up and going into the house of the Lord on Sunday morning.

Watching the Bradford littles (and bigs) practice their music!

And is anything as charming as three little girls playing school with their dolls at the chalkboard at Grandma and Grandpa's house?

Sorry these pictures weren't the greatest of Jed and Rosalie when they came to see Grandpa and ma with their two wee ones. Some of these pictures are especially for Amaris and others who didn't get to be there.

                    Little Kari is one of the happiest and most engaging little girls I've ever seen.

 A precious bunch of little girls on a big girl's lap!
