This past Saturday, I finally made it to a meet-up again after nearly 3 years!! I had been going really regularly until Vince was born, and then after he came along, it was just impossible to get out and since I work out of the home, I didn't want to lose any time with him, or pawn him off on someone else.  By the time he was big enough that I felt ok about being gone a couple of hours on Saturday mornings, his sister started soccer which either made it impossible to go because of the games, or because of nap-times or because of something.  Always something. So, it was really great to be able to get together with the local gals again for some knitting and coffee - or a smoothie for me, since I gave up the caffeine when I got pregnant.  

With all of our various family trips this summer, and the gardening work outside, I hadn't had much time to work on the baby socks, so I took those along to work on.  I've got 5 done so far, and enough yarn to do 5 more!  I need to get to work though.  Life is so busy it's hard to find time to get anything done and I definitely want these finished before the wee one arrives!
