Happy Birthday Julia!

Five years ago, at precisely 12:32 a.m., our beautiful daughter Julia was born. Her entry into the world was quite scary - even the doctors and nurses were in a panic. Fortunately, we have not looked back and she's a healthy, (mostly) happy, child. I highly recommend parenthood to anyone who is considering it. If you've never felt your full range of emotions, believe me, you will once there is a child in the house.

Some of you may know I was adopted. Nothing was more important to me growing up than having someone who looked like me and was part of me. Perhaps that is why I rushed into marriage the first time. The relationship didn't work out, but I came away from the experience with my two lovely boys.

I'm so thankful to have them all.

I have been reading the most fabulous blog, yarnstorm. I think I discovered it through Mason-Dixon knitting. I hope to absorb even the smallest bit of Jane's creativity and have it influence my work in some way. There's a lot to live up to.
