Happy Valentine's Day!

So last night was poker night again, I know... so soon after last time right? Anyway, it was the best ever because Jess just came over to have an off-Monday knitting night! That's like her, at my house, three times in one week! How lucky am I?! So anyway... most of the night we talked, like you know, we never see eachother but whatever. I finished my afghan! I don't know when I started it though, like a month ago? I should go back in the blog and see how long it took. The middle wasn't as big as it was supposed to be so we just made up the edge and it turned out very nice (if I do say so myself!) it's not really HUGE, but it's pretty good snuggling size.

I did pull out my Holly Hobby blanket that Grandma Shirley made me when I was pretty young. I have no idea how old I was. Not very... I just remember thinking that it was B-U-tiful! Like. the prettiest thing ever. And I knew Jess would appreciate it. I was right, she marveled at the mad grandma Shirley skills and also how well it's held up over this many years. It does need a bath though, I am willing to bet that it hasn't been washed a single time so she gave me advice on how to wash it very gently.

I forgot to mention Duncan and his pointing. Pointing is a developmental thing and at their appointment a week ago the doctor asked if he was making hand gestures and I said he was waving and clapping. Then he asked if Duncan pointed and I said not yet... Then I brought them home and put him down for a nap. When he woke up I went to get him and as I was almost to the door he stopped and pointed at the smoke detector! I was like...STINKER! I just told the doctor NO! He's obsessed with smoke detectors, we take him all over the house and he looks up and points.

And we got our cards from Grandma Shirley with a dollar for each of the babies. Yay! Happy Valentine's!

Dylan's been way more aware of her surroundings lately. She's been watching us around the room and stuff and that's relatively new. Well, she noticed Mushi, and so we went for a quick pat on the head. He hated it, but she seemed to like it... so, too bad for Mushi. I always wanted him to be a therapy dog, maybe he will be for Dylie!


Ducan's totally smiling in this picture, I think he was kissing... either that or eating Jessica's face. I would like to think it was a kiss.


And this is what he get's from Steve for trying to eat Jessica's face! A little beard tickle on the neck!


Dylan time. They went to bed shortly after the boys left though. Good for a quiet evening, not good for sleeping in this morning!


This is Dylie's little "beak" that she makes right before she busts out with some really profound thought (in baby talk of course).

Duncan has discovered books. He loves them! (Even if they are upside down) This one he got from Aunt Jane and Uncle Dee for his birthday.

My little project, all done!


The close up. Yay!
