Look Who's 2!!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of the terrible twos!!!!

 I love this kid to pieces but glad I don't have to live through the two year old stage again. A nephew that is 2 is easier than my own kid being 2!

Although the teenager stage isn't much better!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Grant.

You silly, adorable, curly haired, devil smile, trouble maker, smart, curious, non-stop cutie pie,

we love you so much!!!!

Yarn Along

Joining in with the weekly yarn along!

I am knitting a little cotton, alpaca cardigan for myself. I'm hoping to have it knitted up in time to wear to Maryland Sheep & Wool in May. However, with the weather we are having here, I might need a heavy sweater still! It's freezing in NJ!!!!

Pattern notes: Heathered Cardigan

Reading: Water from My Heart

A friend of mine recommended this book to me. So far, I'm not in love with it but I trust her and I'll keep reading. It got 5 stars on amazon (which doesn't happen often) so it must get better.

Joining in with Ginny at Small Things. 

What are you knitting and reading?

Howdy

It's been a while since I've been on here. Work has been very busy and exciting lately. I feel very settled in to my new job and have hit a nice rhythm with work. Getting used to being away from home all day still is hard, but I'm getting more and more comfortable. I feel like the weekends are precious now and every minute with my husband and kids counts more. I guess it's a nice thing. No moments are wasted.

Anyway....just thought I would share some random pictures from my phone from the past week or so. No particular order...just the daily ins and outs of life.

This last picture was taken by Tracey Cunningham Photography. She is the talented woman that took photos on our farm last fall. She asked me to knit some little bonnets for photo props and this little bear bonnet is one of them. What a cutie! Look at all that hair!!!

Knitting: Blue Cowl (Honey Cowl)

Green Shawl (Reyna Shawl)

Yellow sweater (Heathered)

My mom, dad and sister Liz went to the North American Alpaca Show this past weekend and I am so happy to report that lots of ribbons were won!!!! I'll do a new post with all the details for you all.

Have a great week.

Happy Birthday to the Bean Queen!

Join me in wishing my mom, (aka The Bean Queen) a very happy birthday!!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Happy, Happy Friday!

Happy Friday guys!

The weekend is almost here. I hear SNOW is in the forecast?? Ugh.

Of course it is. Now that baseball season is in full swing and I am supposed to be at 5 games/practices over the weekend, it's going to be freezing and snowy. 'Tis the beginning of spring in NJ.

Well, at least it gives me an excuse to bundle up in hand knits.

The farm will be open on Saturday. Swing by and say hello!

Have a happy weekend!

Happy Birthday to you whoo whooooooo whoooooooooooooo!

Excited to celebrate two of the 7 boys this weekend. 

Today is Shea's 7th birthday!

This boy loves the color red, karate, reading and being silly.

He is Andee's youngest boy. (grabbed this photo from Andee's Facebook page)

And a happy birthday to our middle guy, Garrett! He will be 12 this weekend.

I'm enjoying you watching you grow, seeing the world through your eyes. I feel lucky to be your mom. We are proud of you. 

Wishing everyone a happy weekend! Hope you are celebrating something too.
