love, friday

• Love my niece, Gigi. Love that she's moving to Ohio this weekend with her Mom and Dad so she can be closer to her siblings, Faith, Miriam and Sky. Love Faith, Miriam and Sky.

















• Love my nephew Tommy who lives close-by and we saw on Easter. Love that he's really working on crawling.
















• Love watching two boys try to work a yarn ball winder. Love that (so far) they can't.
















• Love that Jackson finally fell asleep this afternoon, after going through many, many tissues for his drippy nose and taking some Tylenol to help with his fever. Love that he slept for two hours (in his crib) and woke up happy. Love the sounds my kid makes while sleeping.
















• Love that my kid loves his dinner so much that he gets pizza all over his face.
















• Love Google Reader. Love that I am now on top of my blog reading habits and won't miss this or this or this...

• Love that I'll be boarding the Empire Builder tomorrow morning at 7:30 to visit Chicago with two knitting girlfriends. Love that we're going without our kids and husbands. Love that we're not allowing ourselves to bring Veggie Booty. Love that we'll have chocolate, Brie, chocolate, grapes, chocolate, ciabatta and some chocolate on the train. Love that we will all be able to sleep through the night for the first time in over a year. Love that my bag will contain yarn, knitting and more yarn instead of diapers and animal crackers. Love that Chicago has many, many yarn stores and many, many bars.
