Afghan for the Baby

I've finished the first afghan for Thane, Jr. I'm sure I'll be making more.

Lizard

A picture of a lizard taken outside of my kitchen window. I couldn't resist taking a picture of him. I wish he would have looked up for the first one.

The Practice Quilt

Okay, this is my first quilt and I hope nobody ever looks at it too closely. I am not a perfectionist and unfortunately, it shows. I really don't think that the baby will mind. We'll use it when we need to put him on the floor or sleeping on the couch or whatever.

I'll be making another one in a couple of weeks.

It's a Boy!!

Theresa and Thane are having a boy! Her due date is November 7. They don't have a name picked out yet but maybe Thane Jr.?? We are very excited!!

I'll have to start looking for some baby clothes and start crocheting a little boy afghan. We also need to get a car seat and high chair for when they visit.

Dogs in the Pool

Pool Party

The dogs really had a good time cooling off in the pool. We had some hamburgers and sausage on the bbq pit with all the kids (and animals). It was fun but I was tired. Still couldn't sleep that well but took a nap today. Will see the plastic surgeon on Monday and ask him when chest pains will subside. I guess nerve endings are trying to 'come back to life'??

Life Goes On

Started Femara two days ago. Hopefully there will be no side effects from it. There are some people who have joint aches and some with thinning hair - don't want those. I can deal with the hot flashes (I think). I will be cutting back on the sleeping pills (Restoril) and start taking some calcium supplements which I probably should have been doing anyway.

Joined Facebook earlier this week. One friend so far (my brother). Kids aren't sure they want me as a friend. I'll see how that goes.

Getting ready to take Matthew to Best Buy and then to Borders and maybe to Menchies for frozen yogurt - it's at the new mall (outside) and is sooooo good! I want to get a book at Borders called Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe. It's supposed to be good - I'll let you know. Still reading The Bourne Sanction (it's pretty good).
