T...I guess Bekah and Omar were very old-fashioned. They had a long engagement of five years; and, had not planned to have a child until they had a house. However, God decided to bless them with little Zella after a year and six months of marriage.! Last year this time they were telling people," No babies until we establish a home and both have secure incomes” Oh well, best laid plans of mice and men. It will make their start a little more difficult but fortunately Omar did get a teaching position practically before he graduated.<br />Bekah hopes to open her own business with her photography and a framing shop. I have no doubt, as determined as she is, that she’ll do that by next year at this time. Little Zella will probably grow up being Mom’s photographer’s assistant. But I can see Omar coaching with Zella in a back pack! LOL He is such a good Daddy already. Rebekah is really fortunate! I didn’t realize, until I wrote the blog just how many things had taken place during May. Even omitting the parties that went along with the occasions. I observed most of it from my bed but did get to attend graduation dinner at our house! LOL<br />However, I have 3 granddaughters and Rebekah is the only one who opted for marriage before babies! However, she is the only one who is a believer and who married a fellow Christian. It really makes a difference in their life choices.Ridgewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837489482239530928.post-13611175823618227252011-05-29T16:48:58.528-06:002011-05-29T16:48:58.528-06:00Whew!

Now we can all enjoy them.<br />Congratulations to the parents and grandparents on the safe arrival of beautiful Zella.<br />A momentous Month of May for all of you.<br />(I have a daughter-out-of-law who is a knitter!! - sheer joy, but every time I ask my son when they are getting married he says "when we're ready". Young people don't seem to marry so much anymore, do they? - and in the meanwhile I am having a wonderful time exchanging patterns. Must try to teach her to tat next time they visit.)Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837489482239530928.post-60245213848630614002011-05-29T16:17:05.675-06:002011-05-29T16:17:05.675-06:00Wonderful that you could still tat while recuperat...Wonderful that you could still tat while recuperating.

Congratulations on all of them!<br /><br />I'll try to come up with animals in some of the harder to think of letters. J-- Jackrabbit, just use an ordinary rabbit pattern and lengthen the ears. Q-- Quail (sorry, I don't know of any quail tatting patterns). V-- Vampire bat, there are several bat patterns available. X-- X-ray fish; Xenopus, a type of frog; Xenoglaux, a long-whiskered owlet from South America, just take an ordinary owl pattern and add some long picots around the face. Since you've already reserved the G for Giraffe, you could use or modify Jane's Gecko pattern and call it a Lizard. She's also got that Meerkat pattern for M, if you want something more unusual than monkeys. You can have my Cardinal pattern if you want it for C. This will be a fun project! I can't wait to see all your ideas!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837489482239530928.post-79015060904820544412011-05-29T13:47:42.674-06:002011-05-29T13:47:42.674-06:00How about Z for Zella and do her whole name?How about Z for Zella and do her whole name?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274345764787048662noreply@blogger.com
