warm

Snowy & cold one day...warm the next.

Look who is 3 months old already!

 Wearing my glasses!

It's official.  The weather is crazy! 6 F for the high last Wed. 64 F on Sun. I love snow, but I'm glad for the warm weather.  We went hiking in the woods.  What kind of weather have you been having?

The wee hat is cute, but too small for 3 month old George.  Still, it would be good for a newborn.  I'm casting on another with the rest of the yarn (I used our kitchen scale to weigh the finished hat: 22 grams, and confirmed that there's:  28 grams left, of the 50 g skein, enough to make a one a bit larger) starting off with 60 instead of 50 stitches across.

After Olivia's dance performance:

freezing cold

Super cold weather everywhere.  Tomorrow, it's supposed to be a high of 6 Fahrenheit.  

I knitted this chunky hat & found it pretty silly looking as a hat.  I think it's a nice plant cozy though.

Next, is this baby hat:

I didn't order the kit, but bought "the baby wool" which was $12, since I already had knitting needles the right size.  As for the pattern, I cast on 50 stitches & I'm simply knitting back & forth.  I crocheted (a chain) one tie.

Two years ago we were still homeschooling with Hannah & Olivia.  We read To Kill a Mockingbird when Olivia was 13, and now it's required reading for her...  It's such a great book, nice to reread it!

Sledding with cousins:

Big brothers:

Littlest cousins!  I hope they'll be good friends!  And below, mornings with these boys:

Olivia & George were twinning a few days ago.  Look at that little smile, below.  He'll be 3 months old next week!

We went ice skating with Rob's sister Sun. afternoon.

Sleeping 2 month babe, Grammie, blessing of water + church = super day!  Theophany!!

I love how babies hold fingers!

Make that 2 days of water blessings!  2 month baby, 11 weeks or 79 days since he was born...

And so much love.

Love all this snow!

Aunt Sarah braided Olivia's hair for the basketball game.

After, Hannah taught Aunt Sarah to knit.

Thank you to our friend Sarah Pyle for this kit!  I just ordered more 100% Peruvian yarn from www.weareknitters.com to "refill" & we can use the cool wooden knitting needles, made in Spain.
