Got surprising (and wonderful) news that my cousin's son is making an early entrance. I have been working on his welcome blanket since April. I have to get cracking to finish.
This time I will have to take a photo. I made a similar blankie for a handsome little man born last month, but forgot to take a photo before I gave it to mommy.
Time to crack the whip and get to work. (And saying a little prayer for my cousin)

Pre- Vacation prep
I think its funny how when going on a big trip, you always end up shopping beforehand.
Next month am taking a big family vacation and so far I have bought 2 jackets (one lined & waterproof and one a canvas trench), new sneakers, and 2 tops. I have a feeling more will follow.
Don't even get me started on toiletries- we have TSA restrictions, and I am not a light packer- this will be interesting.
Have a great afternoon and THINK SPRING!!

Great night
How can we be creeping up on the end of February already?? It seems like it was just January...
For my birthday, my M got tickets to Straight No Chaser at Beacon Theatre in NYC (which just so happened to be on Valentine's Day). What a beautiful location. I had never seen them live, and was excited to see the show.
It was amazing, they are great performers and love playing it up for the crowd. I wish in retrospect I had taken time off either that day or on Friday- it made for a VERY LONG day....felt bad about getting M up so early and out the door, but hey a girl has to get to work!
I got to spend a really great night with my man :) What a great present!!

New angels today
As now everyone has heard, a horrific tragedy occurred in our backyard. Newtown CT used to be a sleepy little hamlet where nothing bad happened. This morning, that peace was shattered and the town (and state) will never be the same.
20 young children ranging in age from 5 to 10 had their lives cut horrifically short. 7 staff and teachers also had their lives taken away, trying to protect their charges.
I have heard the sick excuse for a human being killed his mother at home and then went to the school to slaughter the ones she loved as the ultimate F.U. My heart goes out to his family (brother and father and other relatives) - they had no idea he was capable of such cruelty. I am sure that life will never be the same for them either.
As more details came out, it hit close to home- my niece is a kindergartner in a small bucolic CT town, she like some of the new angels today, is in an AM class. All I could think of tonight is that it could have been her school and her friends. I was lucky enough to have a sleepover with her tonight and made sure to get lots of hugs.
How will the school recover- what will happen? Will the school be torn down and rebuilt? Will that section be taken down? I don't think they can leave the school as is today. What person (teacher or parent) would want things to stay as they were??? I know the children in this school will never be the same, their innocence is gone- shattered in the blink of an eye.
In addition to the family and friends for all those involved, thoughts and prayers go out to the first responders. They saw the unbelievable today and will have to cope with the images they saw. An image of firefighters crying this morning is going to stay with me for a long time.
I am going to say another prayer as I go to sleep tonight- for all of the new angels today, and their grieving families.

Thanksgiving- straight ahead
How did time fly so quickly and how is it Thanksgiving next week??
The boy is coming with me to Thanksgiving- will meet my brother, cousins, and niece. Hope all goes well- he'll be one of 21 at the house.
He is from a small family who has their thanksgiving in the evening- he is going back down to the coast after our gathering- and picking up his gramma on the way (so sweet). Have yet to meet any of the family- will have to do that sooner than later......
This week will be interesting!
