spring break

We've been keeping plenty busy around here. Mostly, it's just what you'd expect- trying to make it through the day. We've done a few fun things that I want to share with you soon. Fiona is growing and changing all the time. She had another first- her first visit from Nana & Grandpa. We did plenty of extra special things, but we also had a great time doing all of our regular things...together.

Pixie

My Baby Girl is changing fast,
I blink my eyes and days go past.
Smiling. cooing and gurgling too,
It's so much fun getting to know you!

I can't believe you're three months old today! Happy One Quarter Birthday, Fiona!

Magic

Believe it or not, I have managed to squeak out a few moments for myself over the past couple of weeks. What do I do with my spare time? I make something out of nothing. Well, not really nothing, but it feels like it. I admit that I am addicted to knitting. It amazes me how a simple ball of yarn can become something beautiful and useful. For Christmas, I got two presents to fuel my addiction: a swift and a yarn-baller. Hmmm....I'm not sure if "yarn-baller" is the correct, technical term, but that's what I call it because that's what it does. For some reason, they sell yarn in these completely useless things called "hanks" that can not be knitted from. If you do, the neat little hank will turn into one gigantic knot. This I found out the hard way. Then I found out about these two magical tools. Love them!



Unfortunately, this ball of yarn was destined for a scarf that was destined not to be. It will soon be re-incarnated as something else. In the meantime, though, I managed to finish these adorable little booties for Baby Girl. Love them!

Antics

Fiona is getting so much more interactive, I started getting out the baby toys. I didn't know that she'd have to take turns. Christmas could have been so much less expensive ...
