Finished Object

I just finished Jenileigh's sweater. She chose purple 100% Peruvian Alpaca wool and it was so soft and so nice to knit with. When she tried it on the for the first time she couldn't get it over her head as I had bound it off a bit too tightly. So, I "tinked" (knit backwards) back two rows and bound off with needles  two sizes larger and voila! Now the boys are lining up to be the next one in line for me to knit them a sweater. I better get busy huh? Have a great week!

First Day of PreSchool

Yesterday was Michael's first day of Pre School. It is his last year "at home" before he goes off to kindergarten. I can't believe how much he has grown. My  baby...

Katrina

My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the Hurricane. It is so much worse than we anticipated, though I had a very bad feeling about Katrina before she hit Florida. Please send money if you can to the Red Cross or other organizations found here: http://www.networkforgood.org/topics/animal_environ/hurricanes/?source=AOL&cmpgn=NEWS&RTP=http://news.channel.aol.com

Second Day of School

The second day of school has come and gone. Everyone seems happy with their new year. John loves the challenge of the third grade year. He likes being treated like a more mature and responsible person. This is good for his self esteem. Jen is challenged by a bunch of honors classes and Davis is also. So far so good.

First Day of School is here!

Once again, back to school. I feel the usual feeling of ...how does the time fly by so quickly? -and every other cliche....my babies, my babies. I pray they have a perfect day. They are all excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to hear how it all went.

A Spot of Tea

Here are the boys enjoying some chai tea. They love it so much they have it everyday with lunch. They are becoming quite English. They have it with 1/2 and 1/2 and sugar in the raw. All of the kids drink it as do I but Tim doesn't care for it. He just loves his coffee too much. Tea has so many things going for it and I do like the English. My favorite shows on the telly (LOL) are on BBC America. Anyone heard of Footballer's Wives(drama) or Coupling(comedy)? The Office was a hoot too, but it has stopped showing. The american version is not nearly as funny to me. If you get a chance, watch em. :)

A New Sweater

Here is Tim modeling his sweater that I finished up last week. It is by no means perfect but wearable. He seems to really like it, bless him. With the 90 degree weather we've been having he won't be wearing it anytime soon. I am now working on one for DD. She picked out some pretty purple alpaca wool. It is so very soft and lovely to the touch. I'm also working on cotton dishcloths for teacher gifts at Christmas. Dishcloths are easy and I need something mindless after working on more difficult things. After the camera battery recharges I will post more WIP(works in progress).
