Finally picked up my crochet hook again

I finally picked up my crochet hook again today and started a pink baby blanket. (Sorry Joce, this isn't an announcement of any kind. haha) Its sooo soft and I think it will be really nice, I'll post pictures when i get a bit farther on it, I'm only 5 rows in. Its a nice shell stitch, and should be really comfy.

I'm making it out of some bulk yarn I had bought while it was on sale, so I am just hoping I have enough to finish it. I have 4 skiens, it should be enough.

Anyway, it feels good to be making something again.. After a long time away from the needles and hooks, my fingers are a bit sore, but they'll catch up. I can't wait for it to grow and be all comfy and ready for someones baby.

It's always good to have blankets on hand in case someone you know has a baby and you have a gift all ready for them, and in my opinion, nothing beats something homemade.

My Three year old!

Emma had a great Party, and beat that pinata like no ones business. haha

Heres my big Three Year Old!

3 years ago today..

Three years ago today, I was giving Teja a bath and reading her that story one more time.

Three years ago today, I was folding itty bitty baby clothes into a bag and triple checking I had everything we'd need.

Three years ago today, I was nervous as all get out.

Three years ago today, I was shaving my legs as best I could to avoid embarrassment.

Three years ago today, I was installing an infant car seat into our old Mercury Sable Wagon.

Three years ago today, I was getting Teja into bed and taking a nice, long relaxing shower to myself, because I knew I wouldn't get one for a while.

Three years ago today, I was rearranging baby lotions, shampoos, hats, mittens, and gowns in all the right places.

Three years ago today, I was still debating on whether or not the names I'd settled on were absolutely perfect. Emma and Noah.

Three years ago today, I was getting ready to head to the hospital and welcome my new baby into the world. I was as big as a house, and going in for my c-section at 6am the next morning.

Emma Margaret Audrey was born June 28th in the bright early morning, and howled to let the world know she was here.

She was gorgeous, healthy, and simply wonderful.

Happy 3rd Birthday, tomorrow, My sweet baby girl.

School's Out for Summer.

Teja is at her last day of school today. She's so excited that she gets a cool day of fun at the end of the year.

Onto Senior kindergarten next year. My big girl.

I'm pretty excited to just get her book order and report card tonight. LOL

Why is it that June is always a crazy month?

Our family always has SO much on the go in June. It's crazy!

I'd like to wish my nephew Ezekiel a belated very Happy 4th Birthday.

Tomorrow we're celebrating the marriage of my brother Jeremy to Jana, who wed late May in Jamaica, with a big BBQ. MMmm Can't wait for that. lol

Sunday, Teja has a birthday party to attend..

Next weekend, Emma turns 3, and my cousin gets married.

Then we have a wee break until July 10th, when my neice, Nevaya turns 2.
