Blogoversary!


Today is my 3rd Blogoversary!  Yay!  Woo Hoo!  I am proud of myself for sticking to it.  For writing often and taking lots and lots of photos for tomorrow and the days to come which are long down the road.  I am happy that Hugo likes to contribute his thoughts and will happily retell his stories beside me, as I type as fast as I can, trying my best to keep up with his whirling, twirling thoughts.  I find a little happiness blooms in my heart each time my husband becomes a wee snarly because I haven't blogged.   And I love the friendships which have sprung from comments found here and those I've left here and there in the blogosphere.  I wish I would have discovered blogs years ago.  I wish I had paid better attention to this thing called the internet.  But I didn't, so here I am three years later with a modern journal filled with all that I love.  

Happy Blogoversary to Me!

Blogoversary #2!

It's here and today is the day! My blogoversary. There are no giveaways this year. Honestly, I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't yet finished Sarah's shawl from my first blogoversary a year ago, oops. I'm terrible! Sarah, I will finish your shawl, I promise I will.

I've found it more difficult to keep up with the blog this past year. I didn't write much early on due to my pregnancy and not wanting to reveal the news until the time was right. What else was there to possibly write about??? So much has changed here in our house. There are 5 of us now and we have a nursery once more. We are all still making adjustments to the babes being in residence, like not playing Rockband during the girls nap time, especially the drums... We traded in my sedan for a mini van, Cesar's parked truck was struck by a semi while he was in it, Hugo started preschool, Bella died, Rodrigo has about three teeth left in his head, I joined facebook, Maggie started a blog-erased her blog-started a blog-erased her blog-started her blog-made the blog private, we finished the pantry and installed three new doors with arched windows, my mother-in-law Carolina's car spontaneously burst into flames and burnt to a crisp, Cesar became a runner and has fallen in love with the sauna, Popeye introduced Hugo to toy soldiers, cowboys and Indians, Sheri married and moved away, the Cook and Murdock families moved west, Tia Piques's family moved to Canada, Aunt Lizzie's family moved back to Idaho, Cousin Adam was born, I happened upon two great bread recipes and finally had my lesson from Shaka on how to make caramels and I didn't knit nearly enough this year.

It has been a happy year. A most full and happy year! Thank you to all who read our happenings and share in our life story.

Blogoversary Winner!

I disappeared again. Sorry. Spring cleaning is in full force here at our house. Closets and clutter beware! Looking at the above photo you'll see I've been a bit wiped in the evenings for knitting time, not much progress. I am enjoying this lace pattern though, my fingers are itching to knit right now! I will finish it soon, promise. Possibly over this holiday weekend even. No snickering Mother!

Little fingers helped me choose a winner, all very scientific like.

And the winner is...


The paper balancing on his nose was all Hugo's idea!

To be continued...
