#87 and On....

Okay, we have gotten so many lovely squishes! And, I have to say, I have been so anxiously awaiting travel that I have somehow found myself unable to focus on other projects. However, I looked at all the fabulous new squishes last night, and was inspired to post them. The wait to travel is killing me, but looking at all of the fabulous support and good wishes makes me feel better:) So, here goes!

These four gorgeous squishes are from Noah's Aunt Tara, Uncle Dave and cousins: Jennifer, Matthew, Elizabeth, Caroline, and Daniel:









This Iowa State Cyclone Wish is from our great friend Adam:) Valiant try, Adam, but if I can help it, this will be a Hawkeye baby...or, better yet...Harvard, here comes Noah!) :)




These next two squishes are from our dear friends Adam and Jessica (Yay Iowa cows!):

This is the only squish in this post that does NOT come from the Des Moines metro area:) It is Florida.

So, Many wonderful Squishes... (#68-#79)

I am way behind in posting these. There has been a rush on squishes lately (Yay!!), and in all the excitement of getting our referral I have slacked on posting them. So, I will post one batch now and hope to post another batch ASAP :) (If you have not seen a picture of our baby, Noah, click here.) So, If you gave one and you do not see it here, please know that I will post it soon (it takes a long time to upload all these photos, but I think it is worth it!)



(By the way, I am thinking of putting a deadline in place for squish submission, because now that we are planning on getting Noah quickly, I would like to get started on the quilt...how does end of June sound? I want to make sure that everyone who wants to has a chance to participate!)
