I figured out IPhoto. Be proud.

I want to show you something.
Eva walking under a knit blanket

I knitted this blanket for Eva. When I gave it to her I tossed it over her head. Apparently, my stitches were large enough that she could see through them. She walked around the house with that blanket over her head for a long time. And never bumped into anything. Amazing.

Look at this.
Matching jammies
Cute, huh? Got these jammies at Aldi for $10. I even washed them and they are still in one piece. . . or two pieces as the case may be.

One more thing. . .
Davin and Lila sleeping
This is funny. They both snore, too.

Oh, and guess what? Sharon bought a new G5 this week. We're going over to visit the new baby on Sunday.

CBS News: 5 killed in shootout among deer hunters

5 killed in shootout among deer hunters

Um. You've got to be kidding. This is ridiculously tragic. Folks in Northwestern Wisconsin will be talking about this for years to come.

My reaction? First, be polite to people who carry loaded guns and this sort of thing shouldn't happen, right? Right?

Or, maybe the suspect is really a wacko and was committed to this little killing spree. Chasing them through the woods, shooting at them? Yeah. Wacko.

I wonder what Sun Tzu would suggest doing. Would the right thing be to just get away as fast as possible and call the police? Yikes.

Those poor families of the dead hunters.

Oh, the places you’ll go!

SOOOO. . .Katie said to me today: "You are so obsessed. It's cute."

I'm not sure how to take that, but, of course, we were at the yarn shop. I finished Mary Defrees little hat. It is designed by Chey and CUTE CUTE CUTE! YUP! and I made it. All by myself. Aren't you proud? And no, I am not making anything for you. yet. Too busy. Really. LOOK!
Knitted baby hat on bumblebee
Doing a scarf swap with a woman from out west, ( I think) and she sent this stinking amazing handpainted yarn. It must've cost a pretty penny, and I think there is no blasted way I'd let a yahoo like me touch the stuff, let alone knit it to my heart's content. YIKES! no pressure. really.
Scarf swap thread
Ah well, gotta grow. Any suggestions for the scarf?

As well, Sharon needs some help being converted. MAC users unite. Help me bring our sister out of the dark.

update.

all right. the hiatus is over.

the kids are fine. Lila is 4 now. she had 4 separate birthday parties.

i wish I was 4.

Eva is well and now says: "bye, more, mama, dada, lila, all done, hi, and uh-oh." Cute little monkey.

I've started a poncho knit in the round, top-down for Lila. All other projects must wait.

School will be out soon. the 3rd annual Granroth family christmas party is canceled. So if you weren't invited, no more fussin'.
