It's a Girl!!!!

My sisters best friend Jennifer just had baby #4, another shocker. She is very irregular so when she gets pregnant she doesn't know right away.... it takes a few months. Anyway she had her 1st girl. After Cody, Travis and Jaren they had Madison early this morning 2:43am. Miss Madison Janelle weighed in at 7 pounds even and is a petite 19inches long. Much smaller than her brothers, so mom is amazed on both counts. Little, girl. I'm told she resembles the youngest of her brothers who has told the family that if the baby wasn't a girl the doctor would have to take it back. Jaren didn't want anymore brothers :) I have no pictures yet but hope to this weekend. She will hopefully make her family debute at mom's birthday party. Yes they are also related. Jennifer's hubby and my sister's hubby are cousins. Congrats Jen & Shane!!!

Cardigan in memory of Julie is finished.

I have finished the cardigan that was a knit along in memory of the knitting groups I belong to - the moderator's daughter. I enjoyed making this. Not the reason it came to be. Losing someone is always a difficult thing to go thru but children are not supposed to go before there parents. I made this for my mom for her birthday to hopefullly keep her warm and looking good on her trip to the southwest. They leave the day after her birthday.

Back to working on my hats for Preemie Project. I got a fleece remnant and cut it in half. Got the small hole punch - punched all the way around in order to crochet an edge and it started to unravel once I started to put the edge on. Talk about frustrating! So I basically thought screw it, I will go back to knitting it's easier... less to worry about. Knitting I can almost do without looking.
Found out yesterday that Mike and I will be able to get away the first weekend in May. We are going to go and visit my dear friend Kathy and her hubby. They just bought a home in KY and we are heading down. They have never met Mike so this will be fun. It's been 4 almost 5 years since I saw them. They were in Virginia Beach back then. Jeff is from KY so they moved home. His home. She has had a hard time getting used to rural life. She was thrilled to hear we are coming down. We need the time away!!

I can screw up just about anything..

Here I take this cool quiz and it screwed up while copying and pasting. Oh well if you know me then you know I'm not very technical.. which is very ironic as my title at work is Technical Assistant. HA!!
