i'm on vacation!


This is my view from the living space in our Florida condo. It is so wonderful to be somewhere that is warm, even if it is too windy to be on the beach. We have the pool and it is heated and the kids are all happy! I have to say that I love knitting in the sun.
I started the first square of the Lizard Ridge afghan. I saw it on Knitty.com and fell in love instantly. The pattern is pretty easy to follow although I may do four repeats instead of three if yarn allows. I will put up a picture of the first square soon. I get alot of knitting time here as we have both grandmas with us!

Here are the finished baby socks. They turned out to be pretty cute and I hope they fit. Little babies can be so chunky you never know. I will get to meet my new neice in a few days. I am looking foward to a little baby snuggling time.

okay -it worked that time! this is kimberly and i just wrote you a long note but it then dissappeared! maybe i took too long! i miss you! i love seeing the picture of where you are! nice pool and palm trees -are you enjoying youself? i'm enjoying not having to get up and scramble around making breakfast and luches and rushe out the door. i'm really enjoying the time i just spend at home but of course my children need some more diversions and so we've been x-country skiiing with moriah,s family and yesterday we went to the greenhouse with margaret and kids and painted plants - that was great being in that humid plant and flower filled space.today emma and maie are here while margRET works and we are going swimming at vtc later.i'm going to send this note in pieces in case i get disconnected again
