When two become one

This



Plus this



Equals this




Yep, my baby boy got married today! He is in the Marine Corp and he suddenly decided he couldn't live without his girlfriend anymore. So he came home, went to the courthouse, and did it. It was lovely. She's staying here until after Christmas, because they won't allow her in the barracks. He's going back to get them some housing. It seems like just yesterday he wanted to marry me. But hopefully soon I'll get another one of these.

I love Fall!

I have been doing lots during the fall months. I just love the fall! So I've been away from my blog. During the summer it's too hot for me so I usually stay in the house. Now, I'm out and about.

Yesterday, I had to go for an endoscopy. I had one two years ago along with a colonoscopy. Not fun. My colon however was just fine, thank you. But my stomach has polyps. So I had to have the test again and I have more polyps. I'm imagining my stomach looks like a cave inside with stalagtites and stalagmites.




Then I've been working on a super secret knitting project that I can't share yet. But I did knit up this little ditty for Vince.




We also went apple picking with my nieces. But, alas, the apples had already been all picked. But we did get to go in the barn and buy some apples and other misc. things. Then the litte one, Frankie, and I came home and whipped up to hot cinnamon apple crisp.



I got the recipe from the blog "My Romantic Home"

Nothing going on.

I haven't updated my blog for a couple of weeks. Not because I was sick or anything, just I haven't done anything to blog about. I've been getting up, cleaning the house, going to work, and then coming home to sleep. Today I did finally have a day off and I got to babysit for Vince. Ohhh, he's so cute. And he smells really good too.

I sure wish I could bottle up that baby smell. Then I got a package from a Autumn Swap partner, Antoneta, from Norway. I was so excited that it came all the way from Norway. She did an excellent job at picking things out for me.

Look at this bag. She made that!
Then I did finally finish my mom's scarf that I've been promising her. It's the Feather and Fan scarf from Wendy Knits


And her she is modeling it.

Hopefully, I'll have some more things to report soon. I was going to order a life but with the economy like it is, I don't think I can afford it anymore???

A life in progress

I don't know which way I want to turn next. I love reading the decorating blogs and look at the lovely things people do in their houses. It just seems to come so easy for some. I'm not included in that. I'm trying to figure out how to do these things seamlessly. It's not coming naturally to me. But I do love the blog world for ideas. I took a fall decorating seminar at The Little Traveler on Monday. It was wonderful and they even had a little fall fashion show. Too bad they don't offer things in my big size. But I did come out with some great ideas for decorating, and I'm proud to show you what I've done.




Then I just loved these boxes that these Halloween things came in. So I decided to group them together on my counter in the kitchen. I bought this Halloween wine too. A wine snob, I am not. I bought it for the cute bottle.



And finally, I did finish some knitting! I had to take a little break there for awhile. But I'm back at it. I made these socks for a guy at work. He says he loves them. It always makes me happy when I can do things for other people.

Time Off

I've been off of work for a week. I barely got anything done except going and playing with my new Grandson. He's so cute! I did do a little fall decorating.










I also got my closet cleaned. I won't bother showing you pictures of that. But it looks good. For now. But most of my time was spent with little Vince.

Who could resist that? I'm back at work now and hopefully back to knitting.

FOX Attacks Obama Like Kerry

This makes me sick!

He's here

May I present to you, my Grandson, Vincent Austin Marra! He was born Monday, August 25th at 7:17pm. He weighed 8lbs 4oz, and is 20.5 inches long. I am so happy I'm beaming. Really, I wish you could see my face. Already they are home from the hospital. I went this afternoon to pick them up. Mother and baby doing well. Grandma on the other hand is a bit of a mess. But I was that way before so I can't blame them. We had 8 people in the waiting room when she was delivering. I snuck by her doorway which was a little bit open and heard him take his first breath. When we finally got to go in and see him he was bright eyed and looking around wondering where the hell he was. He even moved his eyes in the direction of the person talking. He's a genius I just know it. My son-in-law is an artist and drew this on Meg's board in the hospital while we were waiting for his debut.

Here's mama and baby bonding. Isn't it a beautiful thing?

And so he's not left out here's my son-in-law giving him his first bottle. Meg can't breastfeed because of her medicine she takes from the liver transplant.
And here's just one last picture of him because I can't get enough. Sorry.You'll be seeing him alot around here.
