Jackson is a pretty low maintenance sort of dog. We try to brush him regularly - he's a short hair and doesn't shed too much to begin with, but he does shed. He needs to get his nails clipped and we bring him to the groomer for that. Otherwise, we are able to just give… Continue reading Dogs on Thursday – Bath Time

A moment for myself while I eat breakfast, enjoy a cup of coffee, and avoid my daily "to-do" list. Gathering my thoughts...Knitting - I'm so close to finishing Lorelai's baby blanket! I'm on the seed stitch border right now, just a few more rows. It's made with Blue Sky Organic Cotton in a great green… Continue reading Mish Mosh

101 things in 1001 days
I like a challenge. I love lists. I think this sort of list would be good to help me keep some focus (on me) now that the bulk of my focus is on my family. This list has been inspired by my family, friends, and the other lists in blogs I read...Day Zero, Home of… Continue reading 101 things in 1001 days

One Month Old!
One Month Old! Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter How time flies! A month and a day ago, I was still pregnant, anxiously awaiting Lorelai's arrival! And now, here we are - we've just about got feeding down (I think) and we have a very loose routine. She's starting to smile, like she's up to something and… Continue reading One Month Old!
A Merry Christmas after all
Thanks to everyone for the comments - your support and encouragement means a lot! I am trying to enjoy the baby time, even though I'm really looking forward to a schedule / routine and more interaction with the wee one. She's kinda giving us smiles and amazingly last night she slept from 10-ish until 6:30-ish!!!… Continue reading A Merry Christmas after all
Bah Humbug
You got it girl! Today has been a near disaster. I think I've had the second worst night of sleep since we've been home with Lorelai - she was up so often! This morning then was a little rough, as I was overtired (poor Dan had to feel the brunt of my one word answers… Continue reading Bah Humbug
Dogs on Thursday – Pack Expansion
Since we brought Lorelai home, we've kept a close eye on Jackson. He's actually done much better than we thought he would with her - he keeps a close eye on her, constantly sniffs her and will lay down next to her rocker or on my lap when she's eating. Maybe it's a dog thing… Continue reading Dogs on Thursday – Pack Expansion

Knitting is kind of on hold - I've been able to get through a letter or two on the crime scene scarf. But that's about it. This is a needle-craft post though - the nurse director at the hospital my dad works at is a long time family friend - she sent along several of… Continue reading Baby Photos
