Well, the end of June is almost here.

Hopefully by the end of next week I'll be a grandfather once again as Ann's youngest daughter, Rebecca, is expecting her first child on July 4th.  A boy!  We need more girls around here but will gladly accept Gentry Wyatt Wicker once he's here.  Please keep all of us in your prayers.

Now, to the AQP.

I am so happy to see the Canadian and UK groups growing and getting more involved with the project.  With the coming of Canadian and UK AQP Web-Sites I am hoping for more growth and more members as well as more NICUs and SCBUs joining our group.

Julie has done a wonderful job getting all this organized and started and she has my many, many thanks for all the hard work she's done here.  It definitely helps and it is showing.

We have a couple of Special Projects going right now, with a Charlie's Ark blanket, a boy's Charlie's Ark blanket with a girl's Charlie's Ark blanket also in the works.  A Hello Kitty blanket is already underway with one of our finishers in Texas and I hope to have pics of how it's coming along within a couple of weeks.  The finisher will be gone from home all of next week for the 4th holiday and I hope her and her family have a wonderful time.  I've sent off the Charlie's Ark boy's blanket pieces to a new finisher in Montana and she should have them around the first of the week and hopefully pics of how she's laying it out will be available soon.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July and want everyone to be safe, both at home and in whatever travels you take.

Thank you all for your wonderful work here, as always.

James
