Hopefully my mother and mother-in-law won't peek at this page, but here is a little snippet of the gift I'm knitting for them. The diamond pattern is coming out quite nicely afterall. I've decided that typing out the entire pattern (row by row) helps keep the brain focused. I tend to get a little spacey while knitting, so this blueprint idea has helped tremendously!
Spacey and loopy tend to be the adjectives that best describe me lately. Hank has a story for y'all that he'll share later on. But it will showcase just how SPACEY I've been. I tell ya, once you have babies, your brain takes a downward dive. . .you're never quite the same, right moms? Sometimes I'll start walking towards the bedroom with a destination and agenda in mind, and then I'll stop mid-pace to think, "Where am I going?! I don't quite remember!" So my two babes have given me bigger feet (did you know that they grow a bit while pregnant?) and a watery brain. THANKS kids!
Last night we went to Circuit City, and I saw the camera I've been coveting. I have the regular SLR Canon Rebel that uses real life film, but this digital brother is quite handsome and it makes me swoon. A girl can dream, right?

One of my friends has that exact camera and it takes the most beautiful photos!

You know that's the camera I want. Must sell stuff from store, must sell stuff from store! :) I drool over it everytime. Never fails.

I have camera envy - I'd love one of those too! The knitting project looks awesome, too - you have a lucky MIL!

Last week I FINALLY bought the camera I was coveting - the Nikon D70 which is the equivalent to the Digital Rebel and I love it. :) (Long story short, I saved $ to get LASIK and found out I wasn't an ideal candidate, blew the $ on the camera). I may have to start my blog again just so I can post all the pics I've been taking!

Hello All - Yes, I am suffering from camera envy. Big time! Someday it will be mine...it will be mine.
Anne - Congrats on the camera! The Nikon is quite the dapper dude too. Yes, you must re-think the blog thing! We've been missing you!
