I Can Increase!



It seems like the glorious, warm spring we've all been craving is finally here! I'm not sure how long she'll stick around, but we've been taking full advantage of the incredibly perfect weather, I'll tell you that. In pretty big news around here, Natalie has her first loose tooth! :*) I was in the kitchen this morning, drinking coffee and reading the paper when she came in, quite despondant, that her tooth was "broken." Given that we just shelled out $2500 in February for an extensive amount of dental work on her, I immediately checked out her mouth and found a wiggly, not broken (phew) tooth. So now the countdown to the Tooth Fairy's first visit begins. My extremely talented TX friend Juli is working on a special pillow case for Natalie to use on Tooth Fairy visit nights.

I started a new knitting project today, it's a tunic for Natalie, in a pretty rose pink yarn. I was a little scared of it at first, but after checking out http://www.knittinghelp.com/, I'm really chugging along on it, and it's pretty darn easy! The yarn is worsted weight, so it knits up quickly, and it's machine washable. I love cashmere and mohair, but they aren't so practical for a little kid, lol. My next project, which will run simultaneously with this tunic, is for some knitted dinosaurs for Garrett, he picked out a royal blue yarn for them and the pattern is on its way!
