Raising Boys

We are raising two boys who are 7 1/2 years apart.  Our oldest will be eleven in a few days.  Because of their age difference, they have completely different needs throughout each day.   Being a stay-at-home mom has its own set of challenges, but I expect that without challenges, life would be boring!  Raising boys is absolutely not boring!

When our youngest was born, we were given a handmade crochet blanket for him. (love you, Christina!)  It was the perfect gift!  Matched our nursery colors and design and it was definitely made with love.  It has become his favorite blanket of all.  He called it his "bwoo bwanket" for quite a while and now he calls it his "star blanket."  I was thinking of this as I was crocheting my latest project.  My hope is that this blanket (pictured left) will find its way to a new precious baby boy and he will treasure it for years to come.
