#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.

#3 and #4

Square #3 came from another swap from my Yahoo group, 

it's very sweet and the wish is too:

Square #4 from The Raudenbush family. Kelly is another

adoptive mom/blogger whose site I have enjoyed following

and even more so with us on similar timelines to our daughters!

#1 and #2

Square #1 came from a swap from a Yahoo! group. It's been really fun to swap with other families that have either already adopted, or are also in the process. Jenna will have squares from across the world!

Square #2 came from our dear friends Alex and Kate, who, coincidentally,

also got engaged this week! So super sweet of them to take the time to do this for us. 

We can't wait for them to meet Jenna!

the squares are rolling in!

Some squares have started to arrive!! YAY!

Some of these are from friends, and some are from swaps I'm participating in of blog friends, or people from one of my Yahoo! groups. It's been a ton of fun so far and I can't wait to see what else comes!

Thank you SO much to those who have participated. It means so much to us!
