And I can't promise to be better at keeping my blog update. Real life is just too busy and fulfilling. I have way more to do than hours in the day but I love reading blogs and keeping up with friends and fellow bloggers when I can.

The big news around here is that we have an incredibly beautiful granddaughter! She is our first grandchild and is completely scrumptious!! She was born on 12/12 after a good birth. Here is a peek:

She is so sweet. Unfortunately we have been passing the sickies around at our house and so I've not been able to spend much time with her. Oh well, hopefully soon.

Anyone who can sew a bit and has a baby may want to try making some mock Babylegs. Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/babyhopes/sets/72157594274454468/ to an online tutorial on how to make your own from store bought socks. Looks easy! I can't wait to try it!
