I can hardly believe that it is the middle of January. We have been so busy, but I have been loving it. DS2 is changing from baby to little boy. Oh it is so precious to watch. How I love each stage of child hood. DD1 took her drivers test last week but missed it by one. I think that she was driving the Sprinter Van didn't help much. The instructers were questioning if it was a class C license or not and no one really wanted to get in that thing. She has been doing very well and didn't get her licence because she didn't check her blind spot when moving into the left turn lane....now I don't because I figure who the heck is going to fly by me as soon as it opens for me...they would have to go into on coming traffic to go around me and then get there before me..doesn't make sense, but then have you seen how some of these people drive. She will retake the test on the 27. Reading skills are improving all around huge plus. Did I say that I had made 4 dresses for Christmas for my 4 girls?

Made a hat for hubby so he wont freeze at the train station. DD1 made him a matching scarf but I don't have a picture of that.Now he wants gloves to go with the hat and scarf. Will have to start sometime this week.

Finished both December and January socks for the KAL.

December

January

Finished Secret of the Stole III KAL(should have been done in September I think) It is being blocked now but I don't feel like running upstairs to take a picture and then downloading it on to my computer then uploading it to Flikr right now. ha ha

Look...We got snow that didn't melt in a day!!!! DH had to stay down in LA at work because all roads leading up to our valley were closed and the train ..well that was a whole other story.

Front yard in the morning stared snowing around 7am

Back yard by noon

The snow was still on the ground a week later...most melted but WOW what fun!!! I can say that because we don't get it like this very often. We have lived in this valley for nine years and this is the first time it snowed like this sense we move here.

There was a Christmas party at Knotts Berry Farm and the company paid for it ALLL!!!! Wow what a blessing. I had so much fun watching the kids have a ball.

I am plugging away on a sweater for my brother inlaw. I am farther than this picture but again the camera thing. This is the ribbing and right now I have about as much of the main body done as the ribbing, but I got my Lenox (80% Alpaca and 20% merino) Yarn from WEB to make the Tanglewood Cascading Cardigan in baby blue. It is turning out to be a quick knit. I am dieing to get back and knit on it some more.

Oh and the new sewing thing is to make bras for me and the girls. My older two had a sewing class last summer and the instructor keeps us up dated on event. Well Anne St. Clair is coming to LA in Feb to do a seminar. It sound very exciting except I can't make it so I went to her web site to see if she had the patterns and instructions. You have to call to order and I spoke with her!!!! wow Very nice lady and very helpfull. I have instructions and patterns in hand, she sells the kits as well but told me to hold off on buying the kit because they may be able to stop by our house between seminars and measure all of us, answer any questions and let us look through an assortment of fun fabric kits!!!! Wow I am blown away that she would do that. 

Sorry for being so wordy this time. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to 2009.
