I am so not. The craft den is turning into a holy disaster: My wanting built in cabinets in here (and ah curtains) might go from a want to a NEED. I have to keep all this space on the floor open for crazy baby paraphernalia. I should put this on flickr and add notes …

It’s good to be home
Yes, it's good to be home, no matter how much of a disaster home is right now. Bj and I got home very early on Saturday morning from a trip down to California. We went down to take grandpa's remains to rest with his wife at Riverside National Cemetery. It was sad, as I knew …
The big bad baby post
Typepad’s spell check is over working again (all words show up as spelled wrong) is this happening to anyone else? So I’ve got this thing in my belly. Three pounds of baby that likes to smash its self against my side and make me wonder where food is going to fit in a month or …
Thank you so much!
Spell check not working (actually over working, every word, EVERY ONE came up as mis-spelled), so read at your own risk. 🙂 First of all a huge thank you to everyone that has sent well wishes our way in the last week (and month really). We have loved reading them, and have felt overwhelmed by …
1920-2008
William Henry Garrison III passed away early this morning. He was at peace and not in any pain, for which we are so grateful. He is survived by his grandson and namesake who he loved more than anything, and Bj’s wife and future great grandchild who he lovingly called "Matilda". Grandpa was a great record …
Hospice
Bj and I moved grandpa back to his home yesterday for hospice care. He only has a short time left to be with us and I know he likes being there better. It’s still very sad and we will be spending almost all our time there with him.
Hospital Knitting
Thank you so much for all your kind words. Grandpa is doing okay. He doesn’t have a feeding tube, but something called TPN. The nurses described it to me as proteins, fats and vitamins in their most basic form. It goes right into a main vein and enters his blood stream. It skips his digestive …
The update I’ve been putting off
While we were away on our trip I mentioned that Bj’s mom had come to stay at our place and hang out with grandpa at the hospital. This worked out great, grandpa got a little better and was in a regular room. He is still there, and the beginning of this week things were looking …
North Carolina
Tomorrow I start my actual classes, but I thought since I had a moment I would give you an update on the trip. First up we flew first class. Thank you Bj for being a frequent flier! I was very comfortable and got to move around a lot (per the midwife’s orders). The first night …
Update… we ARE crazy
I probably won’t be blogging for a week, unless the "spotty Internet on the island" comes through for me. That’s right Bj and I are headed to North Carolina. We’re still going to Learnfest. It is a bit crazy. Grandpa was super sweet last night when Bj went to hang out with him at the …
