Of Teeth and other bones...

Wow!!!  Folks.  Just wow.  We've had a week of weeks around here. 




Tuesday Hunter had 5 teeth pulled.  He was such a trooper and did a great job.  So now my baby is missing all his upper front teeth and one lower molar, which was abscessed!  He's doing just great and absolutely loves the way he talks now.  You know, with a bit of a lisp....  haha!  Gnarly I know.
We've got at least one kiddo going to the dentist every week for the next 5 weeks.  So every week we'll have someone getting fillings done or a tooth pulled.  Hope the toothfairy is staying close by... 

Kristina is now our star in the house with an up coming surgery!  She has definitely torn her ACL and possibly her Meniscus.  She will be going in for her surgery on or about June 1st and then we start the re-hab.  Oh what fun she has in store....

Olivia is still recovering from her fall at school and is now complaining of discomfort.  We still have another week before heading back to the Dr. to get her re-X-rayed to see if she is healing or not.

School is almost out for the summer now.  May 25th is the last day for this group.  I'm looking forward to no early mornings and just lazing around while the kids play.  I do want to take them this summer to the lake again and also do the "Music in the Park" evenings, this year.  Our water fountain "Uncle Willy" down at Acacia Park, I think this year will be a hit.  Also want to take the kids hiking, unfortunately without Kristina, and Clay has promised to teach the kids to swim.

Obviously knitting is still my main hobby and yes, I've got pictures to post.  I hope you enjoy them... 
 




The Hanami Shawl is still a work in progress but this is 50% done.















These are also the beginning of Apirka Socks










This is the beginning of the Estonian Crown Prince Square Shawl.











So my spinning is still going well.  I'm doing what appears to be lace weight yarn at the moment.  But we'll see what it truly is when I ply it.  I used a dime as a gauge.
