Almost Finished With Catch-up!

 Thank Goodness is probably what you are saying now!  But.....when I get this done, then I have to check to see if I missed anything - that's going to be a mission!

Anyway - here we go!

A cute picture of Munchie and Poppa!

Happy, Furbee, Squishie, Taffy and Gracie watching The Good Doctor on the TV.

A few things getting ready to go to the hospital.

A tired little (or not so little!) Munchie.

Muffy when she was here in the summer last year

A really nice shot!

Annie, Me and Muffy.

The boys last Hallowe'en, Curtie on the left and Munchie on the right.

A pair of hand knit socks - I think Mommy got these.

Time to start another pair.  Since my eyesight is compromised, I decided it was time to use up all my sock yarn before I couldn't see well enough to use fine yarn any more...so I'm on a mission!

I am using all my little bits of leftover yarn and making "very silly socks" for anyone who wants them.

The boys bought some cloths and toys for the bears when they went to the Build-A-Bear store.  Squishie immediately grabbed the guitar!  He seems to have a natural talent - he is really quite good!

A pair of orange and blue socks for Munchie.

Another pair of silly socks.

A pair of socks for Granny Maureen.

My african violet is thriving now!

She has little buds!!!!!

My new light for my knitting area!

Another pair of "silly socks".

I love this!  So true!

A photo Mommy sent me on Munchie's birthday (last October - he'll soon be 14!)

So cute!

So handsome!  Whatever that thing is - he looks pleased with it!

A pink baby outfit for the hospital.

And a blue one....

And a peach one....

...a little blue hoodie....

...and a small blue outfit...all bound for the hospital gift shop.

A blanket for the same place.

A little pink outfit that makes me think of Shirley Temple...anyone remember her?

A yellow sweater and beret for a toddler.

And a blue sweater and beret for another toddler.

A darker blue for a little boy.

This is a mint color.

When Mommy and the boys came for a visit, Daddy let the dogs out for a breather.  L to R; Bam, Hulk and Daddy.

Meanwhile, the boys were inside having a drink after the long drive.  They were on their way north for a vacation.

I looked out the back window recently and noticed that spring was definitely here - the chipmunk is back!

This is light yellow or perhaps cream-colored.  It really didn't photograph very well!

This is also toddler size.

A very conventional baby blue outfit.  I've done this pattern a gazillion times over the years - it is timeless!

The bears all got Easter treats - apparently they all like Reese's!

A blanket made from bits of yarn left over from other projects.

Our last snow storm.  This is the hedge at the back of our condo.

There was quite a bit of the white stuff out there!

Happy and Furbee are making plans for a day trip to Canada's Wonderland!

They're looking out the window to check on the weather.

While the girls (Gracie and Taffy) help me with my sock knitting.

A couple of tired boys...that vacation must have been tiring!

Poppa is being helpful and winding skeins of yarn into yarn cakes for me.

This is our grand-niece Lauren.  She lives in the big city and we don't see her in person very often!  Isn't she adorable!  Wow, look at the hair!  Not sure what is on her tongue - I remember Granny Maureen really like blackballs!  Maybe that's what it was???

More later!
