Busy Busy

I haven't posted in a couple weeks now, and I bet you thought I was done with my little streak I was on, but no!  It's just been busier than normal around here.  

First, I had been working on this little hat and scarf for Blanche's new winter jacket.  I love how it turned out!  

I'm considering adding a button on the scarf because I'm not sure Blanche will leave it on otherwise.  I just keep thinking about how cute she'll be walking around Bentleyville!

After making Blanche's winter gear I quick made a little baby hat for my sister's son who will be born in the middle of winter.

I used the same yarn as I made Blanche's 'Going Home' hat with for when she was born :)

So that had been taken up free time I had during the day and then we even had two dates since my last post and it was Halloween!  I won't put pictures up from Halloween but we went to the zoo and it was pretty fun, if not crowded.  I think Blanche will have more fun next year when she can listen a little more to know she can't run off into the crowd if she's not holding our hand.

Our first date was just going out to dinner close-by because Matt's parents were watching Blanche for the first time and it made me nervous.  But that went well besides Blanche waking up shortly after we got home.  Luckily she went back to sleep pretty easily.  That date was in preparation for our date we had on Saturday night; The Matthew West concert!!  I was soo excited for it and it did not disappoint!  We saw him in 2009 and not to be cliché, but it was life changing, as was Saturday night.  He is such an inspiration and we have pretty much the same sense of humor, I love it.  And I think his use of humor can reach so many people.  His story about his experience with Compassion really moved me and after the show Matt and I talked and I decided I would give up my spending money to be able to sponsor a child in the program.  I picked Suraiya, a little four year old girl from India.  I am really excited about this journey and hope she is just excited when she hears the news.  

If you are interested in learning more/possibly sponsoring a child yourself you can go to compassion.com

Well I suppose that is enough of an update for now, if my posts get to ramble-y I know people quit reading and I think especially the end of this post is worth reading so I'll end here.  I think things will be less busy for awhile so hopefully I'll talk to y'all soon.

Later!
