He is here Gbaby Caden

He arrived yesterday, 8 LBS 13 OZ and 21 Inches long and he is beautiful! I will be off for the next week and half helping them all out, YAY!

Waiting....

I am not going to tell you all my excuses for not writing and udpating my beloved blog.  So lets just get to the good stuff.  What has been going on in my world? 

• Number One on my list, is waiting for the second grandchild to make his appearance.  He is due next Tuesday so I am on Gmom alert and impatiently waiting for him to make his grand appearance.
• Gardening- I am a horrible gardener, let me just put that out there first.  This year, I bought seeds, and last week got those in containers.  Herbs and flowers.  We shall see what comes up.  This Kansas City weather has been up and down during this early spring, so who knows.
• Knitting- of course.  I had to knit up four birthday hats last week.  FOUR! in one week.  Whew!  I know, hats are easy and fast, right?  But I dont think I am a fast knitter, and I watch Netflix while knitting at home.  Knitting is a process, and I like to enjoy it, not rush thur it.
• I think everyone was happy with their hats.  Thanks to the cool April weather, a wool hat could come in handy on some of these days, right?
• Hmm, what else?
• Oh yeah, found out my brother is having another child.  No not him, his girlfriend.  Another boy for him.  I feel for him though, he will be 41 this year.  I would not want a child at that age, but I am so happy for them.  Those babes are lots of work, you know.
• The youngest daughter (who is having the second gbaby) is graduating from the local community college next month (YAY!).  Now she will have to get into a nursing school and complete that degree.  Gonna be tough for her and her hubby while raising baby.  I forsee lots of gmom babysitting in my future (yay!)
• Oh yeah, I started the mitered cross blanket from Mason Dixon Knitting.  It is a pattern for sale on their website that benefits the Japanesse mercy workers.  Good cause and great project.  I splurged and bought me the Noro yarn to work it up in.  Love that yarn!
• Ok, that is enough bullets for now.  Let me know how things are in your world.  Keep on crafting.

 My February is flying by!!  I am not so sure I am ready for the coziness of winter to be over so soon.  Is that bad?  This years winter season has been very good to me, yay!  A few weekends ago found me catching up on reading blogs, and I stumbled across this pattern link from the Mason Dixon blog from Ravelry and I just HAD to right that minute cast on for the Gap tastic cowl.  It so satisfied my need to knit that afternoon.  I still need to figure out a way to read blogs and knit though, just think of how much more I could get done.

 Above I am finishing up a baby surprise sweater from EZ for the second gbaby that will be here soon (9 weeks left, really?).  Not really liking the color now, but I am sure I will make more for those gbabies of mine.

Yesterday was spent at the Nelson-Atkins Musuem with the daughters.  I love how this picture came out with the second daughter.  The first time I visited here I did not know we could use our cameras, so this time I was prepared to take pictures (no flash allowed). 
Now I am off to work on some craftiness around here, it is another goverment holiday today, Happy Presidents Day to you all.
