Knitting

coming soon . . .

I’m getting ready to really post but we’ve upgrated wordpress and I messed up the photo thingy so as soon as I get that straightened out I’ll have a nice long post, complete with new baby pics, Mimmo pics and knitting and even spinning content!

Nope, they are not twins ;)  These are our kids, the left is Caterina at one day old and the right is Mimmo at 3 days old.  These pics were taken almost 3 years apart!

I had them blown up and framed for D’s father’s day surprise - everyone who saw them at the craft store thought they were twins!

Knitting wise I’ve a bunch of project stuff to update and photos to take - several projects that just need ends woven in or buttons sewn on or a seam etc and a couple of new things - hopefully I’ll get a chance to do that and update it here sometime this week . . .

Home & Family, Mimmo

The first week has come and gone . . .

and we’re still working on getting settled into our new routine.  Things are basically going well; Caterina is an easy baby - sleeps well and nurses right on schedule (rather than the 14x a day her brother did!) and she can even sleep through “Hurricane Mimmo” when he’s on a tear!

Here are a few pictures of the new arrival and the rest of us . . .

Caterina, Home & Family

C has arrived!

Hi everyone, M here.

Margaret called me about 40 minutes ago…Caterina arrived at approximately 5:15 a.m. this morning! 6 pounds 15 ounces, 19 inches long, 13 inch head circumference, Apgar scores were 9.

Mom and baby are doing well, Caterina was nursing when we talked, I’ll be heading down later today to take a picture and spend the next two nights with them. They will be coming home on Monday.

I’ll take a picture of the two and give you an update when I return from the hospital tomorrow morning.
