Very Behind

okay, let's see if I can catch you up on what's been going on.

Matt and I went skiing in Utah 2 weeks ago (good pictures still to come. a few camera phone ones below). I came home with a very sick husband. Who still has a terrible cough.
His cousin died on Saturday so he and his parents went to Alabama on Tues and came back late last night. Please pray for Lisa, his wife, and their 3 kids.

In a more positive world, I've been commissioned to make some little thank you cards for our preschool director. Here they are.
Very simple. Some say "thanks for all you do" and some say "grateful".

I've also still been knitting. I made my first bi-colored hat for Matt. It actually is about the right size, which is a first. They've all been too big so far. Here's a picture. Not a great one, but you get the point. (PS- what did we do before camera phones?

Our small group at New Hope is going great! We met last night and there were 10 of us. We had great discussion about Mark 12 and Scripture really came alive through our conversation. I love it!

My parents are coming to Memphis at the end of February. All 4 of us are going to a Henry Blackaby conference in Georgia. I'm so glad they are coming. They haven't been to Memphis since the wedding in...2007!!

My brother Scott is moving to Austin in March. He's leaving San Francisco after 4 years. He's done so well out there, but I'm glad he'll be closer to home. Here he is...
And I think that's about it for today. Thanks for reading!

Back in the knitting world

My friend Mary DeVan taught me how to knit a hat! So I've made 2 this week, working on a third.

Take a look!
Yes, it's orange. My friend Jamie has had a profound influence on me.... :-)
Oh, and that's a necklace I made 2 weekends ago too.
Just call me crafty. 
In a totally different way then my friend Jennifer T.

New Countertops Today!

We are getting new countertops in our kitchen today! I've been in this house 6 years this month, and it's been getting some nice upgrades in the past 3 months. Paint, chair rail, and now countertops (and fridge)! We're also going to do new hardware on the cabinets this week.

Here is the before.... I'll post after's tonight!
