Leaving on a jet plane

Alexa and I are off to Phoenix today. We will be gone for a little over a week returning next Sunday. I haven't been blogging as much for a couple of days since I got onto a really neat website for knitters called Ravelry. You can load all of your current, past and future projects on there and look at pictures of the FO (finished object) from other knitters. Also you can load on your yarn stash, your knitting books etc. Total knitting addict site. Anyway - I have got to finish packing and we have to drive to Portland to fly out. I may or may not blog from AZ. Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting.

Alexa falls asleep again.

While I was writing that last blog entry, Alexa fell asleep on the floor next to me. Some of the positions she falls asleep in are really funny.

My vest.

Not a whole lot going on here the past couple of day. Random picture of Alexa. And picture of my vest. This is one of the things that I knitted. It is made out of a yarn I really like called Classic Elite Premiere, and is 50% cotton, 50% tencel. It is really soft yarn and not very expensive either. The pattern is from the Yarn Girls Guide to Simple Knits-the pattern was for a t-shirt, but I didn't have enough yarn for the sleeves, so a vest it is.
Alexa and I are going to Arizona for a week to get some sun. We leave on Saturday and will return the following Sunday. I am excited to get a little break from the gray weather.

Sunday afternoon

This is David and and three friendly fruitcakes. Aren't family pictures great! After special meeting we went to Burger King to play and snack. Sophia decided to make me work for a picture of her, she kept running away, but I am getting fast with the camera and I got one!
And Alexa getting ready to go down the slide.

We had a fun weekend playing with Jamie and Sophia. After they left for home, we went to see Aunt Carolyn's new apartment. Now we are home, and I am worn out.

More pictures of Alexa and Sophia

Sophia decided to drink the bathwater which has bubble bath in it, not to mention three kids? Yummy Alexa in her new "princess dress"
We tried to get a picture of these two in their pretty special meeting clothes, but Sophia was in a grump.
