(I’m aware that it’s technically the day after Valentine’s Day…) Yes, that is a shirt with a sheep that says “I (heart) ewe”. A Christmas gift from Uncle Dan and Aunt Genevra. Though I would totally have bought it myself if I had seen it! After all, that’s what mommy knitters do! Would you believe [...]

It tastes as good as it looks! We were going to wait another couple of weeks to start Anna on solid food, but she was going to take matters into her own hands – quite literally – if we didn’t start feeding her. Any time I hold her on my lap while I eat she [...]

I have no idea how long it will last, but Anna is definitely a very mellow child. She sleeps through everything – dogs barking, Carrie squealing…and, now, her first bath! She did wake up once I toweled her off and made her hair all crazy!

I didn’t think to get out the camera so there’s no photographic evidence, but Anna came to her first Sit & Knit tonight at the shop. I dressed her up in the cutest little green dress with a fuzzy sheep on the front. She pretty much slept the whole time, and I actually had (just) [...]
