I've had lots of pictures to post from our wonderful trip to Colorado a couple of weeks ago... I've finally started putting some on here, and will continue either tonight or tomorrow, so keep checking back!
Thanks to everyone who left kind words on my blog. My friend continues to be amazingly strong. The funeral is tomorrow. I've been able to help very little, since she is flooded with family and church help. I'm preparing to fill in whenever she needs me. Right now, we're taking over breakfast goodies and peanut butter cookies (since her church has completely covered dinners for now) for them to find when they get back from tonight's viewing. I only wish I could do more.
Adam comes home in two days. We're all very excited to have him back home. He's been gone since last Monday to NYC, Connecticut, and now Baltimore for two conferences, etc., etc... I feel so, so lucky to have a husband to look forward to having back home with us, believe me.
(and I knit the sweater I'm wearing: the Tangled Yoke Cardigan from the Fall Interweave Knits)
Thanks, Jara and Soley, for a great time visiting with both of your families! We all had a wonderful time. I'll upload your pics soon--I promise. And, thanks, Mik, so much for flying out to CO to see us. It's always, always, always fantastic to spend time with you! I love you all so, so much.
Not only is Adam a lot of fun, he's also a really good sport. The girls and I miss you and can't wait for you to come home!
Although initially a little jarring to see my little ladies (ha!) stabbing their daddy with swords and breathing like Darth Vader (never really did get used to that one), it was kind of a refreshing change from princess play and "Sarah and Emily" that the girls play together constantly (apparently the names I should have chosen for them). The girls had a blast, and really, who could blame them? Those boys have quite an impressive assortment of knight, viking, super hero and warrior garb. You are amazing, Soley!
