BABIES ALL THE TIME...

No matter what the year, season, month or day, there are lots of expectant mothers!  We always have three or four gals in our church anticipating a baby and the baby shower lovingly given by the church ladies. It's fun for me to tuck a handmade card in with the gift, because as the gift is opened and passed around, there are as many ooohs and aaahs over the card as there are over the gift.  :)
