Little Lyla lives her soft, fluffy life…
as if everyone is just waiting to take her picture.
Probably because we are.

Those Balloons Again
Every year, on the 4th of July, we wake up at the crack of dawn.
And every year, on the 4th of July when we wake up at the crack of dawn…
I, without fail, think to myself…
“what on EARTH are we doing?!! And…
…why on EARTH are we doing it?!”
But also, without fail, as we drive down to the park and start to see all the familiar things…
the balloons…
the foooooood…
the people…
the sleepy people,
the fascinated people…
the happy-to-be-here people…
the loving people…
I am once again reminded why it is that we do this…
all of this. It’s because we will take…
all the opportunities that we can to pull all these sweet, dear people together…
to remind each of us of everything there is to be grateful for…
so that we never, ever forget.
Happy 4th of July my friends.
Micro Mega Man
We have quite a few Mega Man fans among the male population of my family.
They all played the video game in it’s many forms and sealed his awesomeness in a permanent place in their little boy brains.
Therefore, it was only right that the sweet little character be forever enshrined…
in crochet.
Because we all know that everything is more fun that way.

Chili’s Babies–That Dreadful Day
Look at these sweet little babies!! All grown up and ready for their new homes. Not particularly my favorite time, I admit.
This picture is missing the dark kitty because she wouldn’t sit still with her siblings.
This one we call “toes” because…
she has one striped toe!
The grandkids call this sweetie “Flint.” She’s the fluffy one.
This is “Spot,” because she has a spot by her nose and one by her eye.
And last but not least, we have “Tigerface.” I’ve posted my babies to my friends on Facebook, so I’m supposing they will be gone very quickly.
I’m being very brave right now.
Deep breath. Deep breath.
