Emma's Amity Longies

These are my latest finished project. I knitted these longies for Emma. I used the WonderPants pattern. The brown trim is from Zeke's AlligatorKnits Pumpkin Patch yarn. The colorway is called Amity, and it is from Royal Bottoms.

I absolutely LOVE the way these turned out. The colorway knitted up so gorgeously. No weird pooling, and the colors are so beautiful. I love these!!!

The Lie Clock

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him..

He asked, 'What are all those clocks?'

St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.'

'Oh,' said the man, 'whose clock is that?'

'That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.'

'Incredible,' said the man. 'And whose clock is that one?'

St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.'

'Do you have one for President Obama?' asked the man.

'Obama's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.'

Not very exciting.

Since I'm spending so much time at the desk today, I thought I would post my To Do list on the blog. That way I can see it constantly, and check it off as I get things done. Not very exciting, I know. But it helps me.

The Littles

It's all fun and games when the big kids are at school!

Emma having a little tummy time.

Zeke sharing the quilt with her. They are both looking at the TV.

He was having so much fun laying down with his little sister.

Checking to see if he is allowed to lay down.

New Zeke video.

I know most of you saw this on Facebook, but I thought I'd share it here too.

Comparison

I thought it would be fun to post pictures of all the kids when they were about six weeks old, to see who looks like who (whom?). So here they are:

Sierra

Tyner

Zeke

Emma

So what do you think?

Grape popsicles and Purple Nurples..

Emma and I both have thrush. After several days of prescription meds with no relief, we had a brief stint of bottle use. Then I found Gentian Violet. Apparently this is what people used before prescriptions, but it's use dwindled because it's so messy. It stains everything it touches purple. That includes the sink, the burprags, and skin. When you use it, you paint the inside of baby's mouth with it, then nurse as usual. And if you've ever nursed a baby before, you know they aren't the neatest eaters. So now Emma has a purple face and I have Purple Nurples.

Here is a picture of Emma after the first time I used it. This is before she ate. She looks like she ate a grape popsicle nicely and neatly.

And here's some video I took of her this morning. You can see how far the GV has spread across her face. Oh, and isn't she really cute?

The many faces of Emma.

These pictures are actually about two weeks old, but I thought they were cute. Enjoy!

Somersaults

Somersaults are the new cool in our house. Here's the boys practicing theirs.
