Such a wonderful story and gift. I am like many of the folks on here--make him a DH--or if you are neither interested in that next step, just continue to appreciate him as is. Sounds like you two have come to your own version of togetherness that is working for you. I love it. And even though I am not familiar with the Babylock, there are lots of good things posted about it--and I have a friend here who has (and loves) a Babylock that has embroidery functions.
