It's been awhile....

I have been neglecting the blog...I thought it would keep me going while recovering at home but I find with all the stress I have been under it only serves as a major bitch fest and that is a downer.  So, I thought I would try not to vent tonight, even though I can't sleep which I am getting used to, and make insomnia a plus.

Averee stayed home today not feeling well so we did some pattern searching on Raverly and found the cutest baby patterns for Shay's new baby boy.  I can't wait to get started.  Her nursery is in a Noah's Ark theme so I picked a super cute giraffe layette pattern that I hope she enjoys.  I made Averee a purse and a neck warmer today both with super chunky hook and lots of colorful yarn.  As I took the pictures of her modeling said warmer I was blown away by how grown she looks these days...what has happened to my little girl?

Dallas

 She is becoming a young woman right before my very eyes.  I suppose it is a blessing that I have had the summer through now to spend with my kids at home.  Both Ave and Drew have blossoming personalities that are just awesome...I enjoy spending time with them.  They are goofy, smart, talented and all around really good kids.  Andrew of course turned 9 on the 1st of January and in a matter of days Averee with be officially a teenager when she turns 13 on the 15th...where has the time gone?

 I am posting a pic of Ave in the neck warmer and a picture I got from my dear friend Kayla McCombs...I made her an owl hat for her baby shower and she had her precious bundle on Christmas Eve...the picture is of the new baby, Dallas, in his owl hat.
Gotta love newborn pics and I especially love this certain boy since he was born to two of the most deserving parents I have ever met.  Enjoy him Kayla and Cory!  ♥
