Last night we had a party for our fearless leader/knitting guru. Margret is who we go to for knitting knowledge. Her husband has retired and they are moving to their home in Colorado. She will be missed!
Margret’s home in Colorado had to be repaired not too far back because squirrels had gotten into their walls and did extensive damage to their bedroom. Peggy has a plan to cross squirrels and beavers and genetically alter them to like Margret’s house and lock them in the bedroom so that they have to stay in Utah.

You can barely see the second one, but it is there!
I love my new camera. There is no way I could have gotten this shot if not for it!

We took Sam to her appointment yesterday. Sam got 5 shots, and Emma got her flu shot. Sam was very brave. Emma not so much! Sam is now 16 lbs 12 oz and 27 inches long. She is in the 5% for her weight and 5% for her height. She is just my bitty girl. She is enjoying all her outfits she got for her birthday.

For those of you non-knitter’s, it is a 50% wool, 25% soy silk, 22.5% cottton and 2.5% Chitin sock yarn. I am working on a pair of socks for me and these are going to be so soft and nice! And they are in a pretty peach and pink color. I am excited to finish them! Depending on how they wear, I might spend the $17 dollars to get me another ball Tofutsies.
