52 Blessings – Building Projects


Cali wrote a post about the different projects she’s been doing lately.  I can’t wait for her to finish one of her projects.  It will be a great blessing.  In her words . . .

Ray and Cali

“Most importantly of all . . . I've been growing a baby.* I’ve been doing this for 4 months and although he's only the size of an avocado, he's proving to be a powerfully needy being.  Well, either that or my body's trying to reject him.  I'm afraid I can't really prove it with a profile picture . . . isn't much to see.  However, ‘brick by brick my citizens, brick by brick.’**”

We can’t wait.  Clara needs a cousin.  The baby is due on Ty’s birthday and he’s certain Tygress would make a lovely girls name.


*Actually I should say we've been growing a baby.  Ray claims half ownership.

    Clara must be having so much fun playing with her cousin right now. So much to tell...so much to share. Imagine the two of them!

    Yipee for Ray and Cali!
