Happy New Year!!!

Well today we are getting hit with a good size snow storm. We are supposed to get whaled on within the next three days. I took some pics at noontime this morning and will take more when there is more accumulation. I am waiting for my daughter to come home from her first big sleepover. She has been gone since Friday night. She has had a blast and we have had a bit of a break. I am almost done my hat and will post pics real soon.

Merry Christmas!!

Well, glad the craziness is done with. I took the tree down yesterday. Unboxed the toys already and finished the leftovers last night. The baby is adjusting well. He has not got much sleep today because everytime he falls asleep the kids wake him up. I finished up the Peace Sweater. It came out beautiful.

Ephrem Andrew is here!

Monday December 10, 2007 at 6:37 p.m. Ephrem came into this world. He was 9 lbs. 4.1 oz. and 20 3/4 in. long. He is doing fine, healthy and beautiful. I wanted to post a few pics. Enjoy!

Snow!

Waking up this morning to all the pretty white stuff was nice. I love the snow. Especially if I do not have to venture out into it. One stinky thing is no school. Another crazy day home with the kids. Lately has been pretty stressful. Contractions for three days, nothing amounting to anything yet, my husband has been working double and every day. So I was looking forward to school today, but no such luck. The local news said it might snow until Wednesday. Much knitting to do, my big stress relief. I cannot take a picture right now because the camera is en route from Florida. I cannot wait for it to come though. I cannot believe that by the end of next week I should have a newborn son in my arms. You would think that being the fourth I would be ready but I am getting a little nervous. This is going to be our last though. I finished the front of the Peace Baby Sweater
by annypurls yesterday and started the back. I am making good progress. I want to finish it for Christmas for Ephrem. He is all that I need to make a handmade gift for. I will post pics when my new camera shows up in the mail. Well, I am itching to go knit some more. Until next time, stay safe and warm!

The Countdown is On!

It is officially getting down to crunch time, we have two weeks left, OMG! The clothes are washed, bags packed and loaded, bassinet cleaned and ready for our little Ephrem to join us in this big world. Things around here have been stressful. (Kids being naughty, christmas, etc.) I have finished Simon's Elmo Buddy Bag, and the girls Knitted Babes, I just need to do finishing touches. My mom is supposed to send me her Vivitar Dig. Camera today so hopefully that will come soon, so we can have when the baby is born but also so I can take pics of the handmade xmas gifts.
My husband got his first deer ever last Saturday on the last day of hunting season here. It weighted in at 188 lbs. An 8 point buck. I will post pics when I get them available. The meat is with the butcher and the head is with the taxidermist. (That will look nice on our brand spanking new living room walls next winter.
Well, my two and a half year old is still sleeping so I will go for now and work on Ephrem's sweater that I am making him for christmas. If I do not get to post for a while, wish me luck with the delivery.
