20 weeks

The Sweet Pea belly is growing fast. It has really popped out in the last few days even. I can't believe it's already half way. Hopefully we'll have a new place to live before Sweet Pea arrives.

half way there...

belly

It's a little bit late but here's my 13 week belly shot. I'll have my latest shot taken soon. They say it's good to take these pictures because I'll treasure them later in life. Right now not a fan of profile pictures.

Season Ticket Family day at Wrigley Field

A few pictures from our day at Wrigley field. Steve was able to go with me for the first time. We walked through the locker room, took a couple swings at the batting cages. me...

and Steve...

We baked in the sun but it was too hot to spend too much time in the sun. For lunch we sat in the shade.

a few things I have been working on this year...

I made these for Ann-Marie, i had already given her a matching hat and scarf.

I saw someone in church wearing a fun headband like this and started looking for a similar pattern. this is just one I found. I have two more to make.

I got some yarn from Joan and made two sweaters for the boys. there were a bit small, even though I made larger sizes and followed the pattern.

Now my job is to make the sweaters bigger. yikes! i've never done that before.

This is a variety of egg cozies and dish cloths that I made one week in February.

I'm also working on a couple other "top secret" projects. Details and pictures to follow...

mittens

A few years ago I made a scarf for Ann-Marie.

A couple years after that I made a hat to match.

So this year I adventured into mittens. i knit fingerless mittens but this was my first try with full-coverage mittens. I used two different patterns. Not bad for my first try.
