Introducing Connor William



This is our neice Aly. She is two months younger than Sara. Happy to hold her new cousin.


Mama holding Connor. Look at his hair!! Lots of it!


I had to see his adorable little legs.



Good Morning Aunt Sue!! My sister sent this to show me he does open his eyes. He is all brighteyed today now that all of the meds from delivery are wearing off.


I got to spend some nice time with my tired but happy sister last night. So far Connor is a good baby. We will see how he does after he gets home! My sister and I had time to talk about the fact that she really did just bring another little person into the world after for so many years thinking Sara was her last. He is meant to be here and hopefully will lead a full and happy life. We will all work to help him acheive that goal. He is the new bright spot in the family. Welcome Connor.

Happy Birthday!

Connor William came into the world this morning at 2:06 am. He weighed 8lb 10 oz. Mom and baby are doing great. Mom also said he doesn't look like his sister or brother. I can't wait to go see him this afternoon. I will post pictures asap.

Finished!

The baby blanket I've been working on since Christmas is finally done. I expanded the original pattern because I felt the original was too small. I made it almost twice the size, this will help explain why it took me awhile to compelete this. I know the colors don't exactly say baby but those are the colors my sister wanted.


These are the booties I made for her. I had to give her something at her shower that I actually could finish in time.



The picture is kinda blurry but they are still beautiful. My valentine roses from my hubby. He has great taste. Even had them delivered to my office for the girls to see! He's a keeper!

Sorry I've sooo busy

I have been so busy it's been insane. I've included some of the pictures I have from Christmas knitting. Finally huh?? Never too late I guess.

I made these sack holders for my inlaws. One mother in law one for father in law. They are divorced but live in the same senior complex (long story).


Hard to see but the hat I made my brother is too small.. only took 4 tries to get it right!


This is what I made for my older son's girlfriend. She loved it. I made a few more of the headbands for presents. Didn't get pictures of them all.

I decided to make a blanket for my sisters new baby. Well it was a great pattern Bliss Blanket on Ravelry. It is my first entrelac pattern and it is on smaller needles that I should've used. It is taking me forever to get this thing done!! I've been working on it almost exclusivly since Christmas. It has finally gotten too big to take with for a carry along project so I've been trying to get Kyle's Irish Hiking scarf done. Poor thing he wanted a scarf for Christmas and his was the only one not finished on time. He will be 21 on March 1. God my baby is 21 in less than 2weeks.. how did that happen. I'm not THAT old!! Anyway between those projects and life, work and everything else I'm required to be a part of I've had very little spare time. THANK GOD I have a husband who is the best in the world. He does laundry and cleans.. what more could a working mom ask for.. a clean house and clean laundry after a long day at the office :) Thanks babe!! He also supports my yarn addiction. I hope to finish both this up coming weekend. I will post photos when complete!
