As groups have come, many people have arrived with a gift for Emma and a gift for Haley. Two lady's from Childress gave a baby shower in a bag for Emma, but also in that bag was two cups that she did not put down for days. She wanted to be drinking out of both of them at the same time, one with juice, one with water. The books that Kate Tucker brought have been read many times since last Thursday.
Tonight, Haley may have received her absolute favorite gift EVER. A sweet lady from BR sent with her son a hand-sewn rag doll. The doll has brown yarn for hair. She came in a carrying case that was also hand made. On the inside of the case, one side has a bed, and the other has a little closet full of clothes. From the time Haley received it at dinner until we put Haley in bed, she was changing the doll in and out of her clothes. She kissed the doll many times, and the doll kissed her back. She said this doll was her favorite. We told her that Mrs. Tammy made the doll just for her. Tonight the usual party of 5 dolls and stuffed animals to sleep with Haley was replaced with this one very special doll.
We are so grateful to all of the people who have poured out their love to us in so many ways this summer, big and small. Thank you to Tammy for sending such a special little gift for Haley that we know was made with so much love; you made a little girl very happy.

Nicole,
You made me so happy I cried. I so wanted Haley to love the doll.
I've already set a few pieces of cloth aside to make another jumper and shirt to give it a larger wardrobe. My mom also suggested a few other accessories I could make for the doll.
Please let me know what Haley names it. I just wanted Haley to have something to carry with her on those long Teleton days and other such ocassions.
Thank you soo much for letting me know how much Haley likes it!
Tammy
