Checking in
In the midst of the getting-ready-to-move flurry, we've also been doing this:
And this
And this
(Yep, that's the empire waist cardi. I warned you it would be slow going on that one. I've got an inch left of body to knit until the join, then I'll start the sleeves. I'm determined to get it done and get the pattern posted before the move.)
Meanwhile, the listmaking and planning and emailing and phone calling and stressing involved with closing on two houses, moving, and planning to drive cross-country is done while listening nearly nonstop to this and then there's lots of playing with Thumper thrown in for good measure, and that's usually done while listening to this.
I can't wait to be done with the planning and just hit the road with my guys.

proud mom -
Posted by: margaretThe corn photo is priceless! I love it!
I just KNEW that one of those had to be Dan Zanes (and if it weren't, I was going to suggest it)! Isn't he the best? He was here in town not long ago and the concert was just...spectacular. Do you know him personally? 'Cause it seems that many of the people that I know, do, even way out here. He has fewer degrees of separation than Kevin Bacon!
Should you and your guys end up as far south as Tucson on your way West (and why would you? In August? That would make you foolish as well as lost), give a shout. We'd be happy to give you a bed and/or a meal.

Love watching Thumper grow up in the pictures! My little girl is a month or so younger, and we are also vegetarian. So its nice to see what he is getting up to. Our girl also likes climbing into boxes! Good luck with the moving!
Posted by: sharonWe love Dan Zanes too! We typically catch him during Playhouse Disney.
Posted by: EmilyI've said it before, I know, but a mom never gets tired of hearing how adorable her baby is...and Thumper is packed so full of cute I can't even stand it...LOVE the corn pic.
Posted by: JoAnneWhat a cutie cakes!
Posted by: FeliciaI'm not sure if you will want to stop this close to your destination but it's definitely worth a weekend family trip later once you are settled. You have to see the Oregon Vortex. It is a very trippy and fun place that you have to see to really believe in southern Oregon (www.oregonvortex.com).
Posted by: JaymeOh, I have to second the Oregon Vortex (the House of Mystery or something like that). I think it might be for sale.
Yeah, Thumper is so stinkin' cute. I love seeing pics of him! And I don't care how trite it is to say this, I can't BELIEVE how big he is getting this fast! He is losing that baby look and really starting to look like a little boy.
Posted by: LaurieOMG! I just stumbled upon your blog site, and I just can NOT get over how much your little seal iggy looks JUST like mine! Yarn in mouth and all! I can't wait to see the empire waist cardi finished, it will look wonderful!
Posted by: SympolI've gotta agree with everyone about the corn photo...
Posted by: Paulawhen the heck did he get all that hair!! i don't remember it being that long or thick before. jeezz, I'm away for a few weeks and I come back to see the baby with so much hair it almost looks like time for some product! look at him go with the corn! i can hardly get mine to eat real food without spitting it all out. he packs his cheeks full, tries to chew, then spits it all back out. productive.
Posted by: CambriaSo much for the Corn Palace - it's been munched!!
Posted by: KathyBI love the way Thumper eats his corn! Just like me!!! Mess, what mess?!
Posted by: shannon in oregonSweetest baby ever. That T-Shirt looks extra grand on him too ;)
I don't envy the box packing and phone calls and emails....
Posted by: AlisonGood luck with your move.
Posted by: JenniferThat cardi is looking great! Thumper is doing all the fun stuff it looks like. There is nothing better than getting messy or playing with boxes or baskets.
Posted by: KathyOh, I do love that corny photo.
Posted by: Mary K. in RockportIt looks like you are enjoying your time before your move! Good luck with the move. I look forward to seeing the finished empire waist cardi.
