A new toy...

Actually there were many new toys, but this is one of my favorites. It is the Soothe and Glow Seahorse by Fisher Price. It softly plays lullabies for 5 minutes, just enough time for Casey to fall asleep.

(Well, he wasn't quite ready for a nap when this picture was taken)

Hello 2012!

Here's to a year full of learning and laughter...

Goodbye 2011

2011 has been a year of change in our household. Blogging has taken a back seat. Hopefully, we will settle in a better routine and have a bit of time for crafting.
Have a safe New Year's Celebration!

A bit of knitting

I did it! I got some knitting done. Weaved in the ends on Christmas morning in time for pictures - a Santa hat for Casey.

Merry Christmas

Casey's first Christmas was bit overwhelming. He was not quite sure what all the fuss was about. It didn't help that no one got much sleep on the Eve. Casey was up every hour - "waiting for Santa to arrive".

Lots of "Sophie"s under the tree... He even got a new play mat and a Monkey that is bigger than he is.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtfulness. Wishing you all a peaceful night...

A new vacuum

We needed a vacuum. The old one works, but the canister handle is broken. It has been broken for a long time. I have been trying to justify the price of a Dyson, but just couldn't do it. We decided to get a cheaper vacuum and couldn't be happier! The sticker on the front even compares itself to a Dyson, too funny!

Why didn't we do this sooner, instead of struggling with a broken vacuum?!

Where has the year gone?

Oh how time flies... the last three months have passed in a blur... Casey is a bundle of joy. He loves to smile and keeps us on our toes.

This new mom has put knitting/crafting on hold for a bit. For the last three months sleep sounded better than picking up my knitting needles. I miss it! Hopefully I can squeeze some time in after the holidays.
