I turned my first heel!

Yeap! there it is the heel to my first sock i was so happy at that point. Then I was chatting with my sister about how bad it would suck if my first pair of socks dont fit. Because see I was going to be selfish and make my first pair for me. Then she brought up the fact about my "Big Foot" feet. but i was like no way they are not that big...these socks WILL fit me. Well we hang up and i knit some more the whole time in the back of my head saying..."they are not going to fit" ...."they are going to fit"..."serously ..they are not going to fit".." They have to fit i followed the pattern" Well shortly after my conversation with myself i just had to know for sure.

yeap...there it is! My sock on my daughters foot!!!!!!!!!! I guess that will teach me to be selfish. As the depresion for not making a gauge swatch sets in..My daughters excitement for me making her a pair of socks gets bigger. She starts dancing around the house saying mommy is making me pretty socks. The whole time she is dancing im gritting my teeth wanting to throw a shoe at her lol. Because i know her excitement will have to tell dad the second he comes in the door that im making her socks. And without another word he will laugh cause "MY" socks dont fit "ME". Ahhh the joys of knitting when you hate math.

Our Trip to VA

I have been meaning to post about this since we came home. We had such a great trip visiting Aunt Linda and meeting Brendens' new Dr.

Here is a pic that we took while at the hospital. My kids just love Linda as if she was their grandma. Sis didnt want to leave. Before Brendens appt we got to see the Childrens Musuem of Virgina. It was so much fun! Daniel and the kids all kept me running from one thing to the next they just couldnt get enough!

Abby Loved the fire truck and all the Firefighter stuff. Even tho it has been over a week she still wont stop talking about it. She is so determined to be a firefighter just like Uncle Billy.

This was Brenden's favorite spot. He loved the trains so much. His sad face almost made me cry when I told him it was time to go somewhere else.But his sad face soon changed when he went to the bubble room!
This is Brenden in a Bubble! i wish i could have got a good pic of his smile. He felt terriable and cranky and didnt want to be there at first with a small fever and tummy ache but when he saw the bubbles it made him so happy. His new Dr. sounds conifident that he can find out what wrong with him so all in all the trip was great. Got to see Linda. And had a great time at the musum and it was ...well... Great! I cant wait to make the trip again. thats it for now. Have a wonderful Day!

Wal Mart + Taxes = Bliss

Lol or temporarly anyway. Till ya come home and realize you have ALOT of things to put away. But still yet it makes me feel so blessed and greatful to know that i have stocked my house. Sorry about no posts for a while ...its been a bit crazy. My mind has been everywhere but where it should be. My heart goes out to my family. From Regina and Greg to Davy. And Marty's brother going to Iraq. I have never met your brother but boy do i ever know the feeling of saying good byes at departure time.

I have been so happy to know that my best friend just had her 2nd beautiful baby girl .. Alora. And her brother had an adorable baby boy yesterday. I wish i was closer so i could hold them both. But i do send my love. As for the new baby boy .. that has been my most resent knitting project.

Its a cute little carseat blanket. The picture is a couple days old and i have actually doubled my work since then but it gives ya the general idea. The pattern even has a hat to match so i am trying to knit like crazy to get it in the mail soon.

In other news... We leave today to go visit my Aunt Linda in VA. Well the visit isnt really all for her. Its to meet a new doctor that might be able to think of something for Brenden. He has already seen all three of Pediatic GI specilist in NC so after alot of convincing and days of waiting the insurance co said we can go to another state. Lucky for us the doc we found is really close to family. So keep your fingers crossed. Well if i dont post before V-day I wish everyone lots of love on Valentines Day!
