Look! No feet. 12 weeks more. Bummer. Wait! I see one. Wow...Photography really IS all about perspective.

So, the time is quickly approaching when our little blessing will be here. I'm sure it's that I'm nesting, but probably a little of my "grand plans" always popping up in the form of "projects". Well, I finished ONE project. I made several very cute blankets. They are flannel & about a yard, which is a good size. I love the way they turned out, and each has it's own look about it.

On the first day, I had to stay with Adelaide, but I still managed to snap a photo of Mia in her class. Kindergarten only had school for 1 hour on the 1st day.
