Snow Day!

I've cracked the mystery of how the Freemasons communicate- they get unassuming crocheting little old ladies to flash gang signs to tip members off to secret meeting locations:

Sarah bought me a starter crochet book, hook, and yarn. I have mastered the chain stitch, and learned how to sign 'Meet at Dennys-4pm'.


In other news- It's snowing!
Yay!

My garden is getting a good heavy frost.


Maya decided to spend her snow day talking to herself in the mirror.

Bouncy bouncy Maya!

My mom insisted on buying Maya a bouncer. Maya is only three and a half months old (two and a half according to her Dr. because she was born a month early) and I didn't see the point, but grandma had a hair up her butt about it so I let her. Remember this the next time I think grandma doesn't know what she's talking about:

A little sumthin sumthin...

It isn't often these days that Ido and I get time to do anything other than what Maya wants to do. New Year's eve Maya wanted to go see Steve and Dani. Maya also wanted us to play Poker, Rock Band, and Time's Up until the wee hours of morn. After Maya's crazy night out Ido and I rolled our Happy New Year butts into bed around 4am.

My mom is the bestest of the bestest and watched Maya so I could sleep until 2pm.



I've been meaning to post this photo because it's something that touched me deeply. Kaylee made this beautiful quilt *for me* I was lost for word to convey my excitement when she gave it to me. I saw the quilt spread across the back of the sofa when we arrived for dinner and I knew she had been working on it for months, and that it was for me, but I didn't assume it was still something she wanted to give to me because if I had made this I don't believe I would have been able to part with it. So I waited... and waited... And after dinner she presented it to me and I signed with relief and giggled the word WOW about thirty times in thirty seconds.
