Hannah and Patternworks and randomness, oh my!

Above: This is the blankie I made for Hannah. We have a large one that I made too that is big enough for an adult.

Patternworks Meredith Bay yarn (95% wool, 5% alpaca), in color 4000-Garnet Heather. It is for the sweater I am making for myself. 12 balls of this stuff was a GREAT birthday gift from John!


Hannah models her shampoo "fauxhawk".



Here is Hannah playing with "Lamby", that Mary bought her at Patternworks. She loves it, and plays with him all the time!

Randomness

Wow, I'm SOOOO behind on updates! I guess that's because the more things change, the more things stay the same. There really isn't much to report, but of course, there could be lots to talk about.

Hannah is now 7 months old, which is amazing to me. I feel like she should still only be one month old. She's trying desperately to crawl now, and she's getting really close to doing it. Right now, her favorite pass time is rolling around on the living room floor. Literally. Tummy to back to tummy to back and over again. John thinks that it's because she has finally figured out HOW she does it, and I'm inclined to agree. She's started saying Mama too, though she hasn't put the meaning behind it yet. She's learned to clap her hands. Actually, yesterday at church, she was riveted to the priest's sermon, and when it was over, she clapped. It was hysterical! We told Fr. Damien at the end of mass, and he got a big kick out of it.

Work is still work, and I still live for my 4 day weekends. At least it's only two days a week, but still - sometimes even that is just too much.

Our washing machine broke last week, so now we're trying to decide if we should buy a new one or get the old one repaired. I think we're leaning towards a repair, because the cost of a new one would be upwards of $700, including an extended guarantee and delivery of the new one.

That's about it from here... John has his first teacher day of the new school year on Wednesday, and the kids go back on Tuesday of next week. John is one of the latest districts in the state, but his teacher contract doesn't allow the students to be back in school before Sept. 1st. I'm looking forward to getting into more of a routine for the fall, so all around, it should be good to have him back in school.
