Sweetness

My little boy smiling when I walk in the door.
My Melodie-girl always bringing me flowers home from her visits to grandma's house.
My Harmony and all her cuddles and hugs all day long.
Stealing a couple of hours a week to spend at a local knitting group, even if I am the youngest by a good 10-15 years.
Working in a few minutes here and there to create some gifts and things for us.
Accepting that I may some day master making handkerchiefs with a sewing machine, but have not done so yet.
Knowing that one day we will have our own place surrounded by trees where we can do as we wish without worries of a landlord mowing down flowers and vegetables(just wish this was a sooner rather than later thing).

Checking in..

Just taking a few minutes to check up on some dear friends through their blogs and though I'd mention we are all doing well. Just had a lot going on to occupy the heart and mind with a friend's husband starting chemotherapy and trying to get the necessary things taken care of to make sure our wagon can get us where we need to go. And I am trying to get a little extra crocheting and knitting in here and there. I have some ends to weave in and pictures to take and then I will have at least two new things for in my etsy shop. I admit my priority has been trying to get a blanket I started when Harmony was about 5 months old finished finally. I went to KnitNPurl yesterday and bought the last skein I will need to complete it. Now I just have to crochet up the other two before I put on the border. Be well and good thoughts to all.

What to say...

It's been a little longer than planned between posts. But Michael had three days off, in a row. We spent those days trying to catch up on sleep and letting the girls get in as much sleep and play as they could since they have had colds. And letting Melodie play with Grandma since she is officially on her way to Florida, with Grandpa for a week. Not that this is new, they go every year to spend a week with Ruth and Jack. Ruth being Grandma's best friend from college (they graduated 62 years ago in spring).
I've spent my time trying to catch up on some laundry courtesy of night-time accidents while the girls were sick and Erik doing a lot of throwing up from a formula switch to keep WIC happy. Poor little boy also has a case of conjunctivitis(aka pink eye) courtesy of a tear duct that didn't quite open right. Let me tell you, no matter how small or tall, getting eye drops in the eyes of the males in this house is a battle.
Feeding time. Hope to be back in a couple of days with pictures of a little boy smiling. He smiles a lot, just likes the serious look for the camera it seems.

Soon

I didn't realize it had been over a month since I last posted anything. C'est la vie. Things here haven't necessarily been busy, but hectic and chaotic with M's new job and him working all three shifts every week. It has been rough on the girls, especially Melodie, that there is not any remote sameness or order to the shifts her daddy works.
I will be back next week and hopefully the computer and camera will co-operate and I will be able to post a couple pictures of what has been on my needles/hooks (pathetically little, have been too drained and exhausted to do much) of which at least one thing is headed for my etsy shop. And possibly a pic or two of my girls...we shall see. Hope every one's summer has been going well. Congrats to Hot Belly Mama and Beau on the birth of Naomi Rose. See you all very soon.
