#21

This one was done by my mom, with a little help. ;)
She was a good sport about giving it a try!
For the wish she chose a poem that she found stuck in my Grandma's bible.
I miss my Grandma dearly, so it's neat to have something in this that reminds me of her too!



#18, #19, #20

These squares were put together for us by Andi, who works with Jason, and her kids.
Very sweet of them to take the time to do these for Jenna!



#15, #16, #17

More squares and wishes from Yahoo group swaps!




#11-#14

All of these were sent to me from a fellow member of the Yahoo 100 good wishes group.
She sent these to me and didn't even need any in return. How kind!?






#9 and #10

More squares and wishes from close friends.
Do I have the best friends, or what?

These are both from the Youngs. 
The first from their sweet boys, Eli, Sam and Luke.
We love this family, have a ton of respect for them,
 and have loved raising kids together.



And from all:

#7 and #8

Squares #7 and #8 both came from dear friends of mine in real life!

#7 is from the Struve's and their wish is very kind as well. 
Ann did an excellent job putting this together!
We have looked up to this family alot in raising our kids and 
we can't wait for them to meet Jenna!




#8 is from our close friends, The Kains. We have been friends with them 
since our oldest boys were 2 and playing in the sprinkler together!
Their support in our adoption means alot to us and 
we can't wait to add one more kiddo to the mix of our already crazy get-togethers!


#5 and #6

These two squares are especially meaningful to me, and hopefully 
will be to Jenna as well; they're from her siblings. Matthew's 
isn't done yet because he is very opinionated about 
what fabric he wants that I have yet to find!

Ben was asking me what should he say for the wish. 
I told him that alot of people use scripture verses for their wish 
or a poem, etc. So he set out with his bible to find just what he wanted to use.
I think the verse he chose is terrific. And then he typed it all out
on the computer himself and added another little note from him that 
completely warms my heart. What better thing could a sibling want for another?!




Abby's wish is taken from a song in her favorite princess movie, Cinderella.
