winds of change

Every year around the time the weather changes, I seem to get a little something I wish I didn't, a cold. The thing is the cold is not bad enough to warrant me taking anything for it, but bad enough that I can't do all of my regular exercise type things, like running, biking, and playing sports.

One thing it does afford me is more knit time.

Though I finished these a while ago. It just took me a while to photograph and upload them. I should get better at photographing my fo's because I just got a remote for my camera which makes taking the pictures sooooooooo much easier.

Also, I am starting to get a little worried regarding Sockapalooza4. I haven't received my socks yet and am getting bummed. I did get an email from my sockpal around the time the socks were supposed to go out saying that they were almost done and would be a little late. That was over two months ago. What do you think I should do? Wait a little longer? Request a sock savior? Forget about the whole thing?

Party on and on and on

Wow, I think I am still getting over all of the hustle and bustle from the weekend. And it didn't contain one ounce of playing sports on our part. I did have a soccer game Friday, but I opted out. I think I had good reason too.

Look who had a party.

K had been talking for months about wanting to have a party for his birthday. And if you can't tell from the big furry thing at his side, he wanted to have it here. He had such a great time. And I am still in shock at how big he is getting.

So I think you would agree that I had a valid reason to miss the game Friday night.

Saturday was dedicated to my grandmother. She will be turning ninety this week and so we celebrated on Saturday.

There are four generations in that pic. Two of my grandmothers, my parents, me and my siblings (including Hubby), and two out of three of our kids (K was so exhausted from his party the night before he slept throughout the dinner party).

This is a pic of most of my cousins and our children with my grandmother.

And finally this is a pic of me and my sisters.

Sunday was K's true birthday and Father's Day so B and I took K and Hubby to the movies followed by my parents and sisters coming over for dinner. This was the first year that I cooked for Father's Day, I think I may make a tradition of it.

Then on Monday, well I'll just say that someone else celebrated a birthday.

With all the partying and eating I need to go to the gym. I haven't been in weeks and I think it's starting to show.
