Merry Christmas!

When I first had Gus I was lucky enough to find a group of new moms all looking for friends too. The group came together in a couple of different ways and has changed a little over the years when... Continue reading

One of the best things about little kids is that they don't know how things are "supposed" to be done and so they do, if they are left alone, what they think up themselves. I think kids learn so much... Continue reading

Doubly Lucky

I'd never seen a double rainbow before. These happened in Denver this past August while we there vacationing (me & the kids), working (Chris), and visiting friends (all of us). We just stepped out and there it was! I think... Continue reading

a (very) little knitting
Image
I just haven't been knitting as much. I'm not sure why. It's much hotter in Texas than in North Carolina, I have lots of friends and lots of family to spend time with and we have been spending time with... Continue reading

Coach Pitch
Image
It's almost soccer season so I'd better get the baseball pictures posted or their time will have passed. I don't believe they are too exciting for other folks, but for me they are sort of revolutionary. I was there, I... Continue reading

Noodles AND Fork
Image
Chris has been working with an Indian company and one of the guys brought these noodles with him on his last trip and gave them to Chris. When I opened the package I found this little foldable fork inside. Totally... Continue reading

Look at them in their new school shoes, ready to go! Today was Gus' first day in elementary and Abe's classroom visit; tomorrow will be Abe's first full day of school. It's such an exciting time and a little sad... Continue reading

Chickens!
Image
I grew up with backyard chickens, and with the one notable exception of being attacked by our rooster (short-lived after that!) I really enjoyed them. Backyard chickens are the new cool thing to do so of course I had to... Continue reading

Three Years of Neglect
Image
When we moved to Durham three years ago I had my front yard in pretty good shape, if newly planted. Our tenant did not share my interest in gardening unfortunately. Believe it or not, I'd already started working on the... Continue reading

Chess: Not for the Impatient
Image
This is the board as it stood when Gus got to say "checkmate" to me for the first time. He and I are learning together. All our other games have ended in a stalemate, sometimes legitimately and sometimes I have... Continue reading

Summer Knitting
Image
Doesn't really mean much different for me than winter knitting since I am a big believer in air conditioning! But if it did this would definitely fit the bill: a light as air shawl, very easy knitting (a little boring,... Continue reading

Invading Nature's Privacy

One of our last big social events before leaving Durham was going to a birthday party for one of Abe's friends. This party was held at a park and when we were leaving we spotted a snapping turtle digging in... Continue reading

Good Byes and Hellos

I think we've been back in Austin long enough now that we are all realizing we aren't going back to Durham, we won't be seeing our North Carolina friends anytime soon. It was really hard for Gus to leave his... Continue reading

What happened to June?
Image
Wow. I don't know what happened there (well, really I do) but June just about disappeared in a puff of smoke. The last few days in Durham were a complete sprint: the last sock madness sock pattern was released (I... Continue reading

26 Pairs

Last June I joined a group that had as its goal knitting 52 pairs of socks over the next 12 months. At that point I think I had knit three pairs of socks...not including one pair I had knit three... Continue reading

Ah, I've really been gone for awhile. It's not that I haven't been thinking about the blog because I have, but I've been busy and in a bit of a funk. We have very exciting changes coming up but that... Continue reading

The classic bubbles. They never go out of style. I remember walking around the hike & bike trail in Austin as a girl, and my dad stopping to show me how to suck the nectar out of the honeysuckle flowers.... Continue reading

Is what I've heard almost every day since we moved here but I'd never, not even one time, actually seen one of the woodpeckers responsible...until a day a couple of weeks ago! Here he is, right off our back porch.... Continue reading

Lace & Socks (how unusual!)

Chris likes to tease me by saying I have the tastes of an old lady...and I guess I do when it comes to lace knitting, if you believe the stereotypes anyway! This is a sampler pattern I'm working on; when... Continue reading

Baby Days

So the other day I read a really great book, The Host by Stephanie Meyer (yes, that Stephanie Meyer, the author of Twilight et al). It's science fiction, but also a really human story and just very compelling to read.... Continue reading
