I am inordinately proud that I rejuvenated one of my dying BumGenius diapers. It looks so much nicer now! The elastic is sproingy again! And the velcro is actually grippy! Can't wait to do that to some more of those dying diapers. Honestly, it's like I gave it a brand new life. :)

I've been commenting and complaining about it forever, so I guess it's only fair to show off my fantabulous knitting project. This blanket took up every scrap of spare time I had for 2 months (and some time that wasn't spare), and gave me sore wrists, numb fingers, and countless headaches. So you can see why I'm INCREDIBLY proud of finishing it ( Read more... )

Isaac (now 10.5 months in case you're losing track of time nearly as badly as I am) has decided that he wants to "help" me with my yarn projects. This plus the insanely complicated design I'm working with is making me very frustrated. Hopefully I can fix all the wrong stitches while he's taking his nap.

As soon as I'm off work today, Ross, Isaac, and I are heading to Pennsylvania to enjoy Pumpkin Festival with the in-laws. Can it be 2:00 yet? :)

Happy 4th of July!!

Had an ultrasound today, and things are going swimmingly. Won't be sharing all those pictures just yet, but I wanted to leave you with my icon as a little teaser picture. Oh, baby, this baby is going to happen!

I was looking back through some journal entries, and I realized that it's coming up on a year since my grandfather passed away. And in that year, I've had 2 siblings get married, learned I was going to be a mother, and that I'm going to be an aunt. Life changes a lot sometimes. I hope I can manage to always be the kind of person Grandpa believed ( Read more... )

And somehow, in an instant, life will never be the same again. My Grandpa Johnson passed away this morning.

Happy birthday, bro, and a happy belated birthday to your wife! Hopefully, we'll call you tonight to wish you such.

*hugs*

Hope you guys celebrated in style.
