Lunch Buddy has Changed!

My little Lunch Buddy has matured so much just since her 9th birthday in August. She has grown and she cut her long hair much shorter. We are dreaming up some projects to do this year. I hope to keep up with the knitting?

New Hoody

I have not made myself anything for about 3 years. This was a simple project but at least it was for me, for a change. I still have about 10 pounds to lose so have few clothes to wear. I see I need to straighten it up on my shoulders so it hangs straighter too before my picture gets taken. Oops! This hoody is to replace the one that was stolen out of my car. I really needed it as it is getting very nippy in the mornings these days.

The Cousins

Smiley Sam

Taken September 1, 2009, exactly 2 months old. He is smiling even more now.

Sam Smiled at Me!

I got to stay with Sam while his parents went out for a little break yesterday. Oh Happy Day!! He slept most of the time they were gone. But, finally, he woke up and I got to play with him. He smiled at me!! Yay!! What a heartthrob he is. How lucky I am to have such wonderful grandchildren. I know it is bragging but I cannot help it!

Lunch Buddy is Turning 9

My little Lunch Buddy is having her 9th birthday this month. I made her a bag to carry her knitting in, to match the needle wrap I made her for Valentine's Day. The appliqué fabric is what I used for the needle carrier, so now we have a set! We share a love for Poodle dogs. I put her initial on the other side. Guess I need to run up to the yarn store in Washougal to get her a few knitting trinkets to put in her bag. Maybe a few more needles too.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my birthday. Today we gathered at Andy and Pam's house for a birthday dinner. Andy cooked a wonderful salmon on the grill and made a delicious salad and fresh vegetables. Joe, Sandi and Sam were able to come and KK and Margaret were there too. KK helped her Mommy bake the birthday cake and it was delicious. The weather was beautiful...not too hot but clear and warm. Sam slept through most of it. I had a wonderful time. Here are a few pictures....Pammy and Andy in the kitchen, Joe, Sandi and Sammy, MJ and KK and me....in no particular order....the pictures never end up where I thought I put them anyway. Thank heavens for these kids. Getting older would be no fun at all without them...hehehe
