New pictures!

Here is Sean, at 17 weeks (just shy of 4 months old) This one features his homeys, 2 of his friends that he likes to eat.  And, don’t ask me how I got them perfectly placed.  I’m not sure I could do it again if I tried! This one looks better in person, a lighter color but oh so cute! I love this one with the toes, he has just found them! and just because he drools like crazy right now, I thought this one was most appropriate! … [Read more...]

SP 12 - Question #4

1) What yarn (that you don’t have/haven’t used) would make your stash “complete”? Wow, what a question!  You know, I’ve wanted to try all kinds of yarn, and everything I’ve wanted to try I’ve bought.  I have handspun Alpaca from Alaska, I have Qiviut, I have camel, I have Tilli Thomas, I have cashmere, I have silk blends.  I have all kinds of brand names…  Rowan, Malabrigo, Noro, Blue Sky, Lornas Laces, Schaefer…  I … [Read more...]

My how they grow…

I knit this sweater (from a pattern that my SP11 sent me) (Hi Melissa!), it’s Mikey Liked It.  I thought I would take some pictures of things I have finished for him to wear…  I forgot to take pictures when he could actually wear them. So the first picture is this cute sweater, and matching hat.  I’m so sad about this hat.  I remember him sleeping in it when he first came home from the hospital.  I had a hard time keeping it out of his eyes.  Now, … [Read more...]

The best day was Yesterday…

My son kissed me for the first time yesterday.  I have no idea if he knew what he was doing, but it made my day.  Opened mouth, lots of drool, but what a moment.  I cried. … [Read more...]

SP 12 - Question of the Week 2

As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday? We went camping every summer, and I don’t have many memories of that…  But I do remember going to Girl Scout Camp the summer after I turned 12, I was really awkward at 12…  I was chubby and didn’t care much about hair/make-up and clothes.  Mom sent me to The Timbers to sailing camp.  I was the youngest girl in the group of 9 girls who were sailing.  We had 2 tents … [Read more...]

Thank you!

For your good thoughts about my mom.  Things are getting better, and I hope that she is healing.  I help change her bandages twice a day, and the redness seems to be getting better.  I’d take a picture, but, it’s pretty gross. … [Read more...]

Bad Day

Ok, so today sucked.  And it had nothing to do with Sean. Today, I decided to move the family room around so that we would have more floor space for Sean to play on. Mom was sitting in a chair watching…  I moved one of our glass topped tables, the glass slipped from the table and tore a very large piece of skin off of her left leg (at her shin), down to the muscle.  I panicked.  Mom remained calm.  I called a neighbour to help take care of Sean, and took mom to … [Read more...]

Oh yeah!

Hi secret pal!  I can’t wait to get to know you! … [Read more...]

Rolling over!

Now for the most important thing…  Sean. Sean rolled from his tummy to his back last night, with everyone in the family watching!  I couldn’t believe it.  He hasn’t been reaching for things, he hates being on his tummy (unless he is sleeping) and so, I thought he isn’t even close to rolling over.  But he did it!  I’m so proud.  He has been eating his bib and drooling quite a bit…  He is super cute.  I think tomorrow … [Read more...]
