• 378 stitches, over an hour of knitting just to cast on. This sweater is going to be a monster to knit. It better fit. I am very uncertain about the size. The pattern says all measurements are in cm, but if that’s the case, then the large size has a 17-inch bust, which simply can’t…

  • Back to chorus this week. I am out of shape! But I am here.

  • Continuing to take tiny big steps forward. Getting closer to… something.

  • Busy day. I led the church worship service, which went pretty well. I got a lot of compliments, which always feels good. Then off to teach the NAMI class, which also went pretty well too. But it all exhausted me. I could barely keep my eyes open by the end of the day. I guess…

  • Somehow I missed uploading this one. Oops. Took the kids to St. Augustine and poked around the shops on St. George St. It was more fun than staying home, anyway.

  • Getting this girl to smile warms my heart.

  • Robin is showing interest in drawing, and I’m trying to inspire her without discouraging her. She tried to copy a photo of Albert Einstein, which actually came out pretty well, given how much actual drawing she’s done. My genuine favorite, though, is the hand she drew, which is in the lower center of the photo.…

  • Robin finished this pirate ship the other day and it is really cool! This is a 3 in 1 set, so we’ll enjoy it for a few more days and then break it down to build the next one. We’ll see how that goes without the pieces being organized for us!

  • This dog gets petted so much, and it still isn’t enough.

  • Having two kids doing two completely different things in two completely different places at the exact same time is pretty stressful. Add some thunderstorms and it becomes a bit of a cluster. Somehow everyone got where they were going and back again and I even got a little sky porn at the end of the…

  • It was a day of running around. Robin wanted to go to the mall with her friends, but then when we got there, she felt left out, which kind of ruined it for her, especially since she’d really been excited about it. I got home with about 15 minutes to have lunch before going out…

  • Today was a day for blowout Penn State football, Legos, an enormous cold cut sandwich that would bring tears to Heathcliff Huxtable’s eyes, and a walk to the neighborhood playground. Now it’s 8pm and I have to prepare for the wild party we’re throwing with our zero friends.

  • He may look innocent, but this ball of fluff dug a hole under our fence into the neighbor’s yard, which we discovered just as we were leaving for school. We could hear him, but couldn’t see him. We came back to the house to find treats to lure him back but as we got to…

  • I’ve heard the newer iPhones take better night photos, and based on this, I’d agree. It’s not the best shot I’ve ever taken, but the image quality is probably even better than my (now decrepitly ancient) DSLR. I guess sometimes it pays to upgrade.

  • My new phone finally arrived and this is the dumb photo I managed to take with it. It took me hours and hours to set everything up and I just never had a chance to properly play. Still, I like that you can use the portrait mode on selfies now. I’ll have to play around…
