I started knitting a pair of socks approximately 2 weeks ago.. It's slow going especially since I kept losing stitches all over the place but I think I have finally conquered that little bump in the road. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I had won the lessons at the auction last year and kept putting off starting them... if I had known how fun they were going to be I might have tried to get to them earlier.
In other somewhat related news... Lily is showing signs that she might follow in Mommy's footsteps and knit someday. I'm forever finding her in my stash of knitting books and going through them... maybe she just likes the pictures.

Totally Random Stuff
Not sure what to really say but I feel the need to blog tonight..
Easter went basically well. The girls got nice baskets from Grandma and their Cousins for Easter this year. As per usual not much that they'd actually enjoy but tons that Lee and I would (at least from Grandma). My brother was nice to me and played with the girls and helped me with them quite a bit.
Lee and I took the girls to the park at Lake Quanapowitt on Saturday since it was such a nice day. We got totally surprised while there when the Easter Bunny showed up. Lily's reaction was priceless... I wish we'd had the video camera with us.. at first she ran towards the bunny and then realized that the bunny was HUGE and stopped quickly maybe 3 feet from him or her. Anna on the other hand didn't mind getting close to the bunny but stopped within a foot from the bunny.
I started working on knitting my first pair of socks today. The lessons are from last year's church auction. I feel like it took me forever to get to the point where I could start them and my teacher was very patient with me while I was learning how to work with double pointed needles. Once I got started working on them, it seems to be somewhat easy to do so far. We'll see how I feel about the ease of knitting them once I get into the heart of them and have to work on the heel flap and turning the heel.
