This is the beginning of a blanket I am making for my son Ryan, who is in Afghanistan.  He says it's pretty cold over there at night so decided to make him this one to put over the top of his other blankets.  Hoping to get it done and sent to him for Christmas.

Mr. Ryan James Ellenberger

This is my beautiful son, Sgt. Ryan James Ellenberger.  This is a recent photo, only about a week old, taken in Afghanistan.  I love this young man more than my own life and I pray daily that God protect and shield him during this deployment.  It is very cold in the desert at night so I am in the process of finding just the right crochet pattern so I can make him a new blanket to help keep him warm.  I love you, my beautiful son!
