baby blanket and taggies

I finished a baby blanket for my son Bryan yesterday. And today, after I shamelessly raided my friend, Sarah's, ribbon collection, I finished two little "taggies" out of the remnants. Apparently "taggies" are big out here in California. I had never heard of them until coming out here. So in the spirit of embracing the California way of life...we now have taggies! They are super fun...easy to make...and perfect for teething...which my little man is in desperate need of something to help those sore gums :) I think he likes the blanket...we'll see if he takes to the taggies...

Hello to All. This is a picture of my daughter taken a few weeks ago. She is already quite the little ham in front of the camera. Anyways, this picture always makes me smile, so I thought I would share. Enjoy

Something to start with

I'm not good at starting these things off, so I'll just jump right into my first post without a lot of fanfare. I just put my daughter to bed and the most amazing, wonderful feeling swept over me. In those dim nightlight shadows, my daughter fell asleep on my shoulder as she has done many nights before. But tonight, I felt at peace. I shut my eyes and just reveled in the calm. Just swaying back and forth with her resting peacefully in my arms. Its the most wonderful thing in the entire world.
