September 4th, 2010 brought another sweet baby into our family - Molly Barainca. Shalene and Jim are the proud parents, and we are the proud grandparents of #14 of Huffaker grandkids. We are so happy to get another girl as they have been in the minority. Now we have 9 boys and 5 girls.....wow! Here she is!!
Now keep watching......wait for it......wait for it! Black hair! We are tickled and amazed!
Here's Molly and brother Max (with aunt Calli)
And grandma and Molly
My mom, Lorraine Wray,
passed away in 2005. She loved to sew and was a fabric saver.....she just couldn't throw away anything!! We found in her giant amount of fabric, a ziploc bag of pastel and white fabrics cut into six inch blocks, ready to be sewn together. But, she never quite got around to it. So with the help of my sister Pam, we made a quilt to give to our oldest sister Ronda. Here's the picture of it.
After we had put that quilt together, there were still enough pink and white quilt blocks left over to make a cute baby quilt for a girl. Pam said, "Here Candice, you take them, you'll probably have the next girl grandchild." So I did! And I put this quilt together for Molly, knowing that my mom is smiling down from heaven because she got to know Molly even before we did.
To MOLLY BARAINCA:
Great Grandma Wray cut these squares with great care
Before she retired to the Heavens above
Knowing a sweet little girl just like you
Would join in this family with love.
I'm sure that before you left Heavenly arms
She gave you a sweet little kiss
Saying, "Wrap yourself up in that blanket so small,
And remember me, dear little miss."
Welcome to our family, Molly!

Okay, I'm teary. That is so sweet! She is so cute and I love the black hair. I always thought that is what my babies would look like!
Couldn't help wiping a little tear. Your mom would love that you gave that little quilt to Molly. That was sweet and I should've known better than to read the little poem. The baby is darling and the blog so cute.
Molly's a dolly!- so glad you finally posted a pic of your quilts! Love it and love the poem! Look who's the talented one!
Candice, that is the cutest ever! I love that sweet little poem about Mom, and that Molly can have a blanket from her stash of fabric. Molly is adorable. Congrats on some of the cutest grandkids ever!!!
