Happy Birthday Little Miss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the big six year old!!!!!

Not a lot to report

The weather here has been pretty nice the past couple of days.  In the 60's and sunny.  Its been really nice to have the windows open during the day and to be able to get the washing out on the line.  Its supposed to be in the upper 70's next week.  I am glad it is going to start being nice. 

I went and got the kids signed up for soccer this season.  Two in regular soccer and one in instructional.  Gonna be a busy spring for me.

I am again hooked up with a cell phone.  Its been almost three years since I had one.  No more hiding from people. lol

The Avs haven't been doing so well since the Olympic break.  Been a bit disappointed.  They traded away Wolski and I think that is part of the problem.  I do like Yelle back, but I am wondering about the  trade. 

Boca Raton???  Idaho Falls?????  Neither??? We will have to see. 

Well, since I haven't had the time to stitch, I guess I will cut this short now.  Hope you all have wonderful weekends!

No cross stitch

I just have not been doing cross stitch for a while.  I took a break and did some embroidery for the girls.  At the left is the pillowcase I did for Rebekah.  It has been so long since I did regular embroidery it was a nice break and change of pace.  A getting back to my roots in a way as my Grandma taught me to embroider when I was small.  Took me for ever to get the concept of going down on one side and coming back up through the material, not going around the hoop and going back down, lol.  I have started stitching on  Victoria Sampler's "Butterfly Garden Sampler" and I hope to take a picture and post it when I have more than just 50 or so stitches done. 

The weather has been ok lately, but no sun.  this is the first time the sun has been hidden for the past week or so, but it finally made an appearance today.  Looks like we are going to get one more small blast of wintery weather this weekend.  I am hoping it doesn't damage my iris.  It would be nice to have some blooms this year. 

I have become addicted to facebook and the games.  That is the biggest reason I have been neglecting this lately.  I am going to schedule time to update and keep updated on this.  I have some friends on here I shouldn't let slip by, just because I spend too much time with Mafia Wars, lol.

There is not much else new going on here.  Just the same ol' same ol'.  I don't think I ever posted about Lefty.  He is our newest cat.  Yes, like we needed another.  We found this starving, flea-ridden, wormy little kitten in my in-laws entry way and I couldn't let my FIL take it to the local vet who handles the animal control.  He would have just put him down.  So I brought him home, de wormed him, de flea-ed him and fattened him up.  He is probably close to a year old now and getting better about sharing food.  He is a sweetie.  We called him Lefty as a joke.  He looks alot like CG, just not as fluffy.  I made the comment that it would be great to have gloves with fur like his in the.  Greg said he was going to make gloves out of CG and the new cat, CG would be the right hand and kitten would be the left, so he is now named Lefty.  He seems to be settling in pretty well, don' t you think?
