James has become increasingly contrary and also getting less sleep so we made him nap today. Naptimes are hit and miss these days. He just had a blast at Grandma’s house yesterday. I’ll get pictures up soon.
We’re officially looking for a house and have narrowed our primary search down to two neighborhoods. For those [...]
OMG, my car is IN my garage! You guys just don’t know how much work I had to do to empty out my garage and GET MY CAR IN THERE. One of my personal pet peeves is when my garage becomes a storage room. I hate that. Anyhow, it’s now a garage again and I [...]
That’s how James says “Big Red Dog” and it makes David and I laugh every time. His G’s D’s and V’s are all out of whack. I can tell that he’s not letting his tongue come back after attempting to pronounce those letters and it turns into an “N” sound, but only when the G, [...]
Lowell’s got his two middle bottom teeth poking through. I had no idea until today (another post about our adventure once I can upload pictures without causing Halo3 lag) and when we got home, David asked for a glass as he was feeding Lowell dinner and sure enough, as Lowell gummed the glass there was [...]

Totally impressed with the knitting website. It is like a virtual knitting journal where I can keep track of my yarns, needles, books, projects [...]
James is in big-boy underwear (of course we are having pee-pee accidents left and right) and for the first time he is telling me when he goes. He comes running to me wanting to wear dry ones. He wanted to wear Lightening McQueen after he’d peed on them (I make him sit on the potty [...]
We went to Pfluger Park early this morning. I got a few good shots of the boys but it was hard to get good pictures being by myself with them both. Lowell is still very top heavy and James is still oblivious to where his feet and knees and hands are going so [...]
They fit! They fit!
I knit these without a pattern, without a gauge swatch, without measuring the baby and they fit!
Cascade 220 wool with lighter mystery wool detail on waist and cuffs, curly purly waistband. Size M
Here is where I found instructions for the cast-on. The only difference is that [...]
