Wrapped Up In Your Love

My sweet little boy will never be cold, thanks to all the people who love him.

There are some cute blankies out there that you can buy these days, but nothing says loving like a homemade blankie or quilt... here are a few of Jack's.

For the last few years my mom has been collecting Pendleton shirts.

They are some of my dad's favorite flannel hunting shirts.

Over the last few months she has made 4 Pendleton quilts for the men in her life.

The 1st was Jacks, then my brothers for his birthday,

then Sammy and Dad got theirs for Father's Day!

Sam and Jack having matching time out chairs in the loft, with their matching quilts! too cute
This is Sammy's
The back has a pocket from an actual shirt.

It's to store their chapstick and what not while their sleeping in the tent!
This is Jack's. I LOVE the orange in it!
The edging around Jack's quilt is the same as the bedding in his room!!

It's actually the skirt of his bed set!

My mom is part of the quilting ministry at our church

and when you have your baby dedicated you get a quilt.

My mom claimed this one for Jack when I was 7 months pregnant.

There are four squares that have a scripture written on them .

He is so much more valuable than the birds!

This is the back of it! I love the airplanes. So manly!

Thank to all the South Hill quilters and MiMi! Good Job!

My good friend from High School had this sweet quilt made for baby Jack.

It is sooo cute. It has pictures from Jack's first few weeks!!

He will love this when he gets older! Such an awesome idea! Thanks Em!

My Mom's Mom (Great Grandma McGee to Jack) is quite the quilter!!

The quilt is "Hey Diddle Diddle. The Cat and The Fiddle.

The Cow jumped over the Moon."

Which just happens to be one of Jack's favorite songs!

Thanks Grandma McGee!

The blankie above is another one of my mom's creations.

(Love the Fire Trucks, Ambulance and even a Police Car!)

She made Jack this "swaddle" blankie for his 3 month birthday.

These are two more "swaddle" blankies my mom made.

The checkered one even has matching burp rags. So cute.

My dad laughs because he said most grandmas just wash the blanket when it is dirty,

my mom makes Jack a new one.

And thank goodness she does. Jack still loves and needs to be swaddle at night

(he doesn't stay asleep if his arms are free),

but most of his swaddle blankies don't fit him anymore,

i gotta quit feeding this kid :)
This sweet creation was a gift from Marc and Cheryl Vetter, Marc's mom makes these outfits and blankies for local hospitals. Jack will be cozy this winter.

How great is this afghan??!!! Not only does it match our house but it was made with lots of love my "Grandma" Angie from Chicago she even delivered it to Jack personally! He sleeps with it every night in his bassinet!

Thanks Ang!

Jack's next sweet blankie is from Miss Virgina.

She has been a dear friend of our family since we moved to Las Vegas when I was 10.

It is a super soft pale yellow blankie with the prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep..." on it.

I wonder if she knew that 30 years ago my mom was making her very first blankie

with the exact same prayer...

You know the question " If your house was on fire and you could only grab 3 things,

what would you grab?"

Well, this blankie has always been one of my 3.
I called it my "EB" and it went everywhere with me and I slept with it forever.
My nursery was red checkered with a Ragged Ann and Andy theme
As you can see it is a little tattered and torn
but that's how you know it was loved.
Luckily I was born a girl, a little boy may have looked kinda funny carrying around a blankie with a praying blond haired girl on it!
While God was knitting me together my sweet 19 year old momma

was knitting little birdies and squirrels.

Thank you to all the ladies that love my baby so much.

Each one of these blankies is a gift that he can keep forever.

And I know that he will be wrapped in love for many nights to come!

He is one blessed boy!

Look how little he was.
