More Fall pictures...

It's been a while again since I've posted. We've been a little busy around here lately, but it looks like things are slowing down. I am always writing posts in my head, but somehow they never make it to the computer...must get better about that. I took some pictures of Knox a few weeks ago that I wanted to share, and some of Lizzie that I took just yesterday. It's getting pretty cold, so probably won't get many more shots outside...without lots of clothing anyways.

The cold has arrived...time to knit!

Well, I figured I should become a more well-rounded blogger and write about more than just my children:) So, I've been knitting this sweater jacket for Lizzie for about six months...well I should say I started it about six months ago. The problem with knitting for me, as with all other things, is that I have too many ideas swirling around in my head. So, lots of ideas means many projects started, which means many projects unfinished. Plus, I don't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to knitting right now. But, I'm determined to finish this sweater. The problem is that it's knit on #3's (which are relatively small needles) and has a cable in it (which is more time consuming). Anyways, it's easy knitting, just really slow. I figure if I blog about this sweater I'll feel more motivated to finish it. I'm just crossing my fingers that when I do finish it, it will fit Lizzie:) Then I'm going to start sewing more...which is a whole lot faster!


This piece is the start of the right front...just two sleeves and a hood to go...well, and lots of tedious finishing work...

Warning...lots of pictures!

Finally, I have some time to post! Kory is in upstate New York overseeing the installation of a bridge, so I'm a free woman. I can sit on the computer as long as I want and not one comment shall I hear:) Now I guess that sounds kind of bad, like he doesn't ever let me get on the computer. The truth is I get sucked in working in Photoshop, or reading blogs, or looking at a myriad of items to buy on the internet...and then sadly my poor husband gets neglected.

Anyways, we have been busy here with two little kids. Lizzie finally popped a tooth out about 3 weeks ago, and now she's working on the second! She was no longer needing the title of 'Miss Fussypants', but now I'm afraid she's heading down that road again. Hopefully the second tooth won't take as long. She is also crawling everywhere and climbing up on everything...which means I can't turn my back on her for one second. She is quite curious and very adventurous.


Knox is just a busy, busy boy. He has always been as sweet as can be, but the past week or so he's starting to show a new side...a bossy side. He's starting to demand that I put Lizzie down (so I can hold him), or that I stop talking to my mom (so he can have Grandma's full attention), or that I stop looking at stuff when we're out shopping. I'm hoping that this is a faze, but I'm afraid that this might be leading into the behavior of a 2 1/2 old.


So, yesterday, when they were both displaying their dark sides, I think I basically lost my mind. I'm pretty sure it was my worst day of motherhood so far...but surely there will be days to top it in the future:) It's pretty bad when I asked my mom and my mother-in-law to pray for me! Having more patience is definitely my biggest prayer for myself right now.


I have an overload of pics to post since it's been awhile. Of course they're mostly of Lizzie...she's the only cooperative one in the family. Here's my attempt at a Fall portrait:)

Here's Lizzie the first day she stood up in her crib. When I walked in to get her from her nap, I knew I was in trouble:)

Here's Lizzie playing with the Legos at Grandma and Grandpa's...

Just a few obligatory naked pics...

I guess I should include one of Knox...I promise I love him, too...he is just already an expert at avoiding the camera. Here's Knox and Lizzie with their new winter pjs on:)
