It totally slipped my mind until I got a IM from an ol’ high school friend to update about the car… it’s like new – yeah! It had multiple problems that, when added on top of each other, gave the impression of a faulty bearing and steering column issues like we had back in 2004, [...]
To save you the trouble of reloading – or if you read via RSS (Hi Mark!) – here’s the latest header image upload. I have them set to randomly rotate through a selection of about 20 or so. I just purged some of them I was not very happy with and added some touches [...]
There are lots of pictures that are going to be added over the next few days. Luckily, James goes to bed rather early which allowed me some photoshop time tonight and I got a collage from Stonebriar and another pumpkin collage on our photos page. I’m still working on getting all of [...]
I finished the tiny pumpkin for David. I figured it would be cute sitting on his desk at school. James calls it a ball, but that’s okay.
It was a lot easier to knit in the round than I ever imagined, once I got past the “I [...]
My snaps came today! Hurrah! I can start messing with diaper pattern pieces and do some sewing and snap pressing. I joined a 5 person snap press co-op with my cloth diapering playgroup and we’re all making diapers from scratch and swapping who has the snap press at their house. Of course, all [...]
James’ 15 month check-up was this morning.
24 lbs, 15 oz 32.5 inches tall 19.5 inches head cir.
So he’s average weight (50th percentile), slightly taller than most (though I doubt the 75th percentile that they slapped onto that measurement; I think he’s average), and has a gargantuan head (95th percentile). There’s no percentile for [...]
I was thinking of starting a whole new blog for this but I figured why not incorporate it into this one and see if it turns out being post-rific enough to warrant its own space. I mean, who knows how long this “making things with my own two hands” phase will really last once Lowell [...]
David brought home some huge apples from HEB. He warned me that they were expensive, like $2.50 per apple, so we had better enjoy them. They’ve been sitting on the countertop just staring at us every day since they came home from the grocery store and today I finally pulled out a knife and [...]
Though I know he’s not technically done being 14 months old until Thursday morning, I went ahead and made the collage knowing that the pumpkin patch field trip with our online mommies playgroup (sounds kinky huh?) was cancelled due to rain so I wouldn’t have to wait on those pictures. I tried some new [...]
