Aidan's Party

We had Aidan's birthday party yesterday afternoon. We were worried it was going to rain, but the rain stayed away so we could be outside. It was a few hours of the kids running, yelling, screaming and generally having fun(although there were a couple of tantrums from Caleigh which weren't a lot of fun). I haven't uploaded the pics that Kevin took yet. Hopefully I'll get to that later today.

Daddy's Coming Home!

Today's the day! Kevin is on his way home! It's been a long 10 days without him here. The kids have been missing him something awful, and are super excited to go pick him up at the airport this afternoon.

Signed up for Knitting Classes

When I opened my email yesterday, there was a monthly update from an lys that I go to(rather rarely, b/c it's a dangerous place for me to go ;) ) listing their new sales, arrivals and classes. I've signed up for their 6wk sock knitting class!! I really want to learn how to properly knit socks, and the course is gonna cover a lot of different stuff, including fair isle techniques and knitting using 2 circular needles. Now we just have to co-ordinate Tuesday evenings for those 6wks.

Almost 2!!

I cannot believe that Aidan is almost 2 years old!! We're having his big party on Sunday since his actual birthday is on Wednesday. Hopefully they don't change the forecast too much more, since we want to have the party outside, but now they're calling for 30% chance of showers(maybe the showers will bypass us like they have in the past, or just happen in the evening after the party's over).

I got the mix and icing for his cake today(chocolate fudge and vanilla), got some of the appetizers, and just have to decide what kind of salad to make, and whether to do hot dogs and hamburgers or just one of those 2.

So Thoughtful

I received the most beautiful gift this morning from someone I've never met before. She's one of many others I've shared stories, laughs, and some tears with in a private online forum. When we lost Taylor she asked if she could send me something. Her thoughtfulness brought tears to my eyes. There truly are wonderful people in the world, and she's one of them.

Getting Behind

I've hardly done any knitting at all this past week. By the time I get the kids to bed in the evening, I'm pooped. I really have to get back into the knitting groove soon and get that second pedi sock finished.

One Week Down

Well, the first week has gone by rather quickly, and with minimal fuss. Kevin will be home by this time next Friday. Gotta think of some things for us to do during the next week.
