pictures!!

first the socks and then my hat I finished last night.


now the boys!

A month into the new year, an update on my goals for the year.

I have had two Mom's Nights Out with our local stay at home mom's group. definitely much needed. they're trying to do it every other week or so. lately we've just been hitting local Applebee's after 9pm for their half price appetizers. we get a bunch and split them.

I have also complete a pair of knitted socks. my first socks ever. I'm so proud of them since they came out really well (will share pictures tomorrow). I finally bit the bullet and bought some double pointed needles (DPN's) and attempted socks. I'm in love with DPN's now and my next project is going to be a hat. I feel that now that I've finished a pair of socks I can knit anything!

In January, Michael learned some new words:

• boo
• meow (now whenever he sees a cat, he says meow...over and over and over and over)
• eye
• nose
• mommy!!! (finally!!! he has always said baby and daddy, but never mommy til now)
• moo
• cup

For Tristan, he's been spending more and more time on his hands and knees. mostly when he gets mad at me because I'm not holding him. but as of yesterday he is now pulling up on furniture and standing! yikes! he's definitely more interested in pulling up than crawling.

In other news...Josh went on his first business trip to Wisconsin for 4 days last week It was rather successful, but it was nice to have him home. we went to his company's end of the year party last Friday night and had a blast. definitely nice to meet people he'd been talking about.

I do have pictures to share, but will have to post them tomorrow. I'm off to bed as the munchkins haven't been allowing me much sleep at all *yawn*.
