First day of First Grade!

Can you believe that today is Antonio's first day of First Grade?  Where does the time go?

Alexxis had her first day of Kindergarten!  Here she us with Little Mario:

Well, Jaime is out of the hospital and home and I could not be more thrilled and worried all at the same time....LOL!  He will have lots of therapy/rehab appointments so I will need to have my knitting with me at all times, maybe even put emergency knitting in the car :)


I have really only knit on the one thing all this last week....the boxy cape and I am almost done.  I just need to pick up stitches and do the collar, block, buttons, and done!

I just noticed that you can see where the skein changed, but I am hopeful that the collar and just wearing it all drappish and large will hide that a little because I am not frogging it...LOL!

I did crochet very little on my Virus Shawl....I hope to do more of this, but it is a thinker (and counter) for me.....I have not even hit a color change yet :(

I do have a couple of stash enhancements...I needed (yes, needed) some more stitch markers.

I had a great weekend...most of it in hospital, but I also still had Antonio so I was home too.....My dad got me some of my favorite coffee and cream.....he is amazing.

My weekend was also filled with dogs.....4 of them....look how lazy they are:

Speaking of dogs, I will probably have them all (meaning, including Jaz) next weekend too....I have had Jaz for almost 3 weekends now and one weekend I had her longer than expected.  I thought Paige was going to pick her up in the morning, but she picked her up in the evening....I usually leave my bedroom door closed, but I figured since Paige would be there early, I could leave it open....nope....Jaz got a hold of my FAVORITE yoga pants.....does anyone know how I can fix this?  Just sew?  Do I need a serger or surger or whater that zigzag sewing machine is?  It does not have to be 'pretty' I just want no hole.

While at the hospital one day, Jaime's sister got me some flowers...she is so sweet...they are lovely on my mantle at home.

Well, that is all I have this week.....I thank you all for your warm wishes and prayers while Jaime had surgery and as he continues to heal.....have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Kntting!
