Happy New Year!

I enjoy it when regular calendar events make it so convenient to blog. What shall I talk about? Why, it’s the New Year! Let’s talk about that!
Hello 2009, please kick 2008’s ass. Thank you.
In other news, my daughter conveniently figured out how to get into a sitting position from the ground on her own on Christmas eve, and figured out this crawling business on New Year’s Day. I really appreciate her reaching these milestones on easily remembered days. All children should be so considerate (and Callum was, he rolled over St. Paddy’s Day). She’s not crawling all over the place just yet, but she did indeed crawl. My house will never be clean again, will it?
And in far, far more fascinating news, I organized my yarn tote. I knew you’d be giddy! It is still full of totally crap yarn, with a few skeins of lovliness. I am again on a mission to use up the crap yarn to make room for lovliness. Or I may just buy a bigger tote.
As I untangled a crap-load of crap yarn, I filled in the Knitting Journal Steve bought me for Christmas last year. Filling in the Knitting Journal inspired me to finally get into Ravelry.com and input my finished projects (well, some of them) and log my needles, yarn, etc. If you’re a knitter or a crocheter, you should join Ravelry and friend me. I only have two friends, and one of them is my sister who is obligated by blood to love me. And friend me on random internet sites. That is her cross to bear… besides, Ravelry is this awesomeness of free patterns and cool people and did I mention free patterns? People design stuff that rocks, and then they just share. Happily. How awesome is that? Pretty damn awesome, you know, for us knitters. Who are totally cool.
and so, I’m going to bed. Maybe I’ll feel inspired to write a thought provoking Welcome 2009 post tomorrow. But I wouldn’t bank on it.

   Happy New Year! How awesome that Claire started crawling! That means Jack shouldn’t be too far behind ( I hope– the boy really needs to get mobile, and fast!). He’s just learning to sit unsupported, though.

   ah, don’t wish too hard for mobility… everything changes! The time when they can happily occupy themselves and not get into mischief is precious, precious, precious !

   Believe it or not my life got easier when Jonah started to crawl. Since my house is pretty much childproof I don’t worry and let him go and do his thing. He is much less independent on me and we both seem to enjoy his little bit of freedom. I am under no illusions however that when he starts to walk it will be a whole different story and that I will most likely be cursing his advanced mobility. For now though I am going to cherish every moment.
