Our Little Sack of Sugar - two weeks old

I decided to take some pictures of Kara at 2 weeks old. She got the prettiest cocoon at the baby shower and I was really excited to use it. (Thank you Kathy!) She's changing a little bit each day. She's awake a little more now, but that also means she cries a little bit more now. She's a great sleeper once she is down, but boy...sometimes it takes hours to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep!

Here's our little sack of sugar!

This is what she looked like most of the time I was trying to take her picture. I'm surprised I got any of her looking peaceful.

And even a little smile!

Look at this beautiful cocoon!

Oh she's just so sweet!

A Mummy from His Mummy

Hello there! Did you miss me? Our computer died last week, and it is still in the hospital, so I'm on our ANCIENT laptop which is super slow. But at least I can still get online, right?!

On our Spoon River trip this year, I decided to make some amigurumi for the boys while I was in the car. I love amigurumi (japanese for crochet doll) because they are so quick and easy. Lion Brand Yarn Company has some really cute FREE patterns for Halloween ornaments. I just left off the little tag and gave them to Josh and Clark for little toys. Here is the pattern for the mummy that I made below. I think you may have to register to get the complete pattern, but that's no big deal. I also made a skull for Josh, but I forgot to take a picture...oops!

I have more plans for amigurumi in the future...they are teeny and oh so cute!!!
