Happy Leap Day!

I could not let the once-in-four-years-date pass today without stopping by to blather on a bit......it's just so odd to have the number 29 appear on the calendar in February - for some reason, it seems especially strange this year.  How neat that our little Miss Stella was born in a Leap Year.....maybe one of these days I could do the math and figure out if any of the rest of us were born in one.....yeah, when I have a spare moment or three, I'll get right on it. :)

Can't believe how much fun it's been meeting with knitting friends each Wednesday morning now for the past several months.  At first I was not going to the group because of having Kiersten with me, but then one day last summer, one of the other women had her two youngish grandsons with her, and I thought, 'well, maybe I could drag Kiersten along with me, too'.....however, I might have to skip a few weeks now and then, as Kiersten has decided she really, REALLY likes one of the other women, Marianne, and I think that today she might have 'liked' poor Marianne entirely too much.  Marianne is a real sweetheart, and today she actually brought the cutest little bird & nest that turns into an egg & nest for Kiersten - she knit it just for her.  Absolutely darling, but then Kiersten wanted to sit on the poor woman's lap for quite a long time.  I think we might take a pass next week and just stay home.  Don't want people to scream inwardly when they see us coming through the door. :)

Hoping that Miss Julie is not too crazed today - it was a day that Scott had a conference and then some sort of dinner to attend, and he won't be home till quite late this evening.....both Blingdaddy and I wanted to call today, but were hesitant to do so, in the event that a nice nap was taking place.  Sleep is quite a valuable commodity with a newborn in the house.  Sending good, calming thoughts towards Boston for you, Jules. :)  I showed off Stella's picture today at knitting, and everyone oohed and aahed over her beautiful dark hair.  And then someone told me that Boston is supposed to be hit with some awful snowstorm in the next few days....hope that was totally incorrect!

Well, it's time to be off to the train to pick up Blingdaddy. TTFN
