Knitting Fool...

I've been doing a lot of this lately...

In letzter Zeit habe ich dies sehr oft gemacht...
My grandma taught me how to knit and crochet when I was five years old, but I haven't done it in years. I decided to pick it up again and improve my skills and found, that it's like riding a bike... even if you haven't rode your bike in forever, you'll always remember how to do it and pick up right where you left off! 

Meine Oma hat mir stricken und haekeln beigebracht, als ich fuenf Jahre alt war, aber ich habe es seit Jahren nicht mehr gemacht. Ich ueberlegte mir, es wieder anzufangen und dazu zu lernen und stellte fest dass es wie Fahrrad fahren ist... auch wenn du es seit Jahren nicht mehr gemacht hast, du vergisst nie wie es geht und machst genau da weiter, wo du aufgehoert hast!

I started with some easy projects and knitted a scarf for me and Katie, followed by a crocheted baby blanket. And I'm totally hooked! It is so soothing to me and I'm looking forward to some more challenging projects in the future!

Ich fing mit ein paar einfachen Dingen an und habe einen Schal fuer mich und Katie gestrickt und eine Babydecke gehaekelt. Und ich bin total suechtig! Es ist so entspannend fuer mich und ich freue mich schon darauf ein paar etwas anspruchsvollere Dinge in der Zukunft zu machen!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

Graduation Party

My mother in law Rene' and my friend Allison threw me a graduation brunch the day after I got pinned as a nurse. I love this picture of Patrick. My other (ex) mother in law made this incredible cake for me, she is so talented. My sweet friend Mason. We spent our first year in nursing school together, until he decided to go a different route. We still meet up for brunches and he is also my hairdresser, but I still miss seeing him as much as I used to. It meant a lot to me that he came.  I can't even express how loved I felt on this day. I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so many amazing friends who have been through it all with me. Ten years of friendship this year! Katie and Christina brought the boys and also attended my party, which I really appreciated. Classmates! I was joking that the next time I will receive this many flowers, it'll be my funeral. I also received so many thoughtful and sweet cards and gifts, I was truly spoiled. It was the perfect ending to an em...
