It’s been a while

Wow. It has been a while. My excuse is facebook addiction. The problem with facebook is that your status has to be less than the amount of words I want to write. I want to log these crazy days because I will never remember the details. While I am so preoccupied with David only being two years away from leaving (and all of the emotions that go with a 16 year old) I may not remember how fantastic some of these moments can be. So here I will try again.
I haven’t knit for a long while…I had thumb surgery…a glomus tumor….removed Nov. 30th. The little crapper hurt like a son of a gun. It was the size of a pea and of couse totally benign. Thank You Lord. My thumb was totally sensitive to hot and cold, throbbed during the night, and if I hit it the right way I would really use some bad words. Anyway it was hard to knit with that thing in there and then harder to knit with it our and healing. So I am excited to start again. I have lots on the needles and lots of ideas. I want to make an aran style scarf..and I want to try to make muklucks. They look so cool. I have a prayer shawl I need to finish up but I am excited.
Yesterday was the first day of racing for my kids. They all did really well. No DQ’s, Sarah had a near face plant experience and finished amazingly well. Other than the bird seed and dog food in my boots (mouse poop here too). It felt great to be outside and the sun was shining. If anyone wonders where we will be try sunburst during the week and local race cources on Sasturdays. We would love to see you there any buy you some hot chocolate (with peppermint schnaps).
Finally, we spent the holidays with Brads parents and sister and family. We had a great time relaxing on the beach. David and Laura took their dive course so they are official divers now. I am so excited for them. Laura makes me so proud. I could never go down deep. I would panic for sure and die. Here are some pics of our trip
