Progress....

This week my small family has made small progressions out of the cocoon of our nest and back into the world.....

A 2nd birthday party found us enjoying the company of family and friends at the local park. it also meant the mama scored a good half an hour of babe-free-time to make the birthday surprise. This free time didn't include time spent with my "big boy" making the gift card.

I finished off Axel's baby blanket.

This blanket started out as a stash busting exercise that was feverishly knit over my babe's head while he snuggled, fed and bonded with me in his first weeks of life. Now when I look at this blanket I can't help but remember these moments.

A new blanket is a good excuse to get out in the sunshine and spend some time playing on the lawn watching big brother make a river of bubbles over our heads......

Not a day goes by that doesn't see the sling being pulled out and into use. Her is the view from the top after one of evening walks with my boys.....

How is 2009 progressing for you??
