One Last Post for 2006
I must apologize for my lack of posts lately. I've been terribly remiss in my blogging duties. I'll try to be a better blogger in the future.
For the past month or so I've been spending my free time working on an afghan for my aunt. I got her name in the family Christmas name draw, and decided to try out a new afghan pattern. Here's the finished product. It took over 300 small granny squares, so it was a time-consuming process. I love the finished product though, so it was well worth the work.
Here's a close-up for those of you who crochet, or are interested. The edging is made with four rows of V-stitch.
The boys have all been doing well. Everyone has stayed healthy, happy, and only a little attitudey. John turned 14 this month. Sometime this past fall, he passed me up in height and takes great pleasure in reminding me on a regular basis. He did very well in his first quarter of school this year. At the winter band concert he was given two of the more complicated drum parts. Scouts continues to keep him busy as well. He's begun to plan for his Eagle project.
CJ is still as CJish as ever. He loves to draw, and churns out multiple masterpieces daily. He still loves being homeschooled, and takes a half-day of classes every week at our charter school. He likes the mix of home and school settings. He is the Scribe for his scout troop. His job entails taking minutes at the meetings and doing a newsletter. He enjoys the job, and it provides him the position of responsibility he needs to advance to the rank of Star.
Noah continues to do very well with the homeschooling. He especially enjoys science these days. He did a short season of fall baseball, and has decided that this is not the sport for him. He liked it well enough, but says the innings are too long and he despises wearing a cup. Noah is always enthusiastic about cub scouts, and is progressing well.
Rosa the hamster is still alive and kicking. She seems a little less active than before though. Pygmy the snake is in hibernation mode with the winter season coming on, so I have no photos to share at the moment.
I leave you with a final picture for 2006:
Noah found a rock during our recent camping trip at Calico Ghost Town near Barstow. He called it "his first mineral" We told him that he couldn't take it home, but we'd take a picture of him with it. This is the pose we got.
I tried to post some other pics, but it's not happening. Blogger seems to be copping an attitude at the moment. Hopefully I'll be better about posting soon, now that my days are not being spend in a mad crochet frenzy.
Happy New Year to all!
