It’s raining again, but you don’t really want to know about that. Nothing new there. I have no idea when the corn will get planted or the garden, but maybe that’s not a bad thing. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other warm loving plants wouldn’t like this cool, rainy weather anyway.
All anatomy labs have a skeleton. [...]

It’s Raining Again

It’s raining again, but we had a break from rain over the weekend. Long enough for me to get a few things planted in the garden and my older son to fit in the first baseball practice of the season. It will seem strange that L.J. won’t be at games this summer.

We spent the afternoon at Grandma C’s yesterday for a belated Easter celebration. Grandma was feeling a bit under the weather on Easter Sunday, so we postponed our celebration until yesterday when L’s sister was there as well, visiting from the East Coast.
The kids found eggs, well-hidden by Aunt A., and the girls wore their [...]

The pattern for the hat I’m knitting for my husband comes from an unlikely source – at least of patterns for grown men. It’s from the over-the-top-adorable Itty Bitty Hats. I checked it out from the library and I plan to make several of these ubercute hats for baby gifts. The hat I’m sizing up [...]
