100 Wishes Quilt

Richard's mother, Oma, is making a 100 Wishes quilt for Alexander. You may remember the beautiful quilt she made while we were waiting for Evie, our much-loved Yellow:










If anyone would like to send some fabric to be included in Alexander's quilt, Oma is requesting 6.5" squares to be sent to her as soon as possible, within a couple weeks. I will send out an email with Oma's address, or you can send fabric to me or Mom and Dad for the quilt.

Welcome to Waiting for Alexander!

Alexander Fuyuan Carlisle is waiting for us in Qingyang, China. We can hardly wait to bring him home! He was born on April 5, 2008, so he is just a little older than his cousin Gracen, who will turn one in July.

Here are the referral photos we were given:


















I am so in love with his chubby little baby cheeks! The poor baby is going to have to put up with lots of kisses when we bring him home.

It took us much wheeling and dealing to come up with an American name for him. Evie is still a bit upset that we didn't go with her top choice, which was Johnny Cat!
