Life update

Obviously it's been a bit since I blogged. As usual, I get all gung-ho about something new and then it fizzes a bit. BUT, I'm back to tell more. :) I've doing great at the Couch 25K program and was up to Week 3 last week and then on Friday I was sick and couldn't run. Then I got sick over the weekend along with 2 of my sons and now DH is sick. Went to the doctor on Monday w/Devan, my 11yo, and found out we had Strep. Lovely! That explains why I couldn't breathe and sleep and swallow! Needless to say, the runs were out for a bit. I intend to start again this week. Hopefully tomorrow.



I have done a bit of stitching. I finished a Prairie Schooler August ornie, but forgot to take a picture, I'll have to do that later. And I FINALLY started my Papillon Castles in the Air SAL. I've got pictures for your viewing pleasure! Here's my floss toss - I'm using 28ct Lugana evenweave in Antique Ivory I think it is. And here's the small start that I have. I've also been working on my Noah's Ark Sampler and my L&L Angel of Grace.



The boys have finished summer school now and the only we have going on aside from playing is Devan's summer theater that he's involved in. Our town has a group called the Redbud Players and they always do a childrens play/musical during the summer. Devan was in it last year and is in again this year. He's had practice every afternoon except Friday since school let out in June. The performances are this weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll post pictures of that after the weekend.

Therese, my daughter, is getting quite the belly on her. She was 19 weeks on
Monday - it's gone by so quickly! She had her first ultrasound about a month ago and also went to the doctor. The doctor told her that right now her placenta is low, which COULD result in Placenta Previa if it doesn't move away from the cervix. Basically that means she would have to have a c-section. We're praying that doesn't happen. Typically when it's found early in pregnancy it will move on it's own, but there's nothing she can do to help it along. She has another appointment on July 28th and then he'll schedule another ultrasound to see how things are going. She and Brian are also hoping to find out the gender of the baby. They say their too impatient to wait! :) Here's a picture of Therese we took on Sunday.

Well, that's all for now. I really need to figure out how to add pictures differently. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get them to line up with the text that talks about them and then start writing new text underneath. Guess I need to dig into the depths of Blogger help!

I love the colors you choose for the SAL. It looks great. I'll be praying for your daughter.

To adjust the text, you need to use the HTML tab and then add several [enter]'s until it lines up the way you want. That's how I do it, anyway.

Sorry you had a lot of sickness in your household. I really need to get back into exercising. Since dating JT, I've gained 15 lbs! Ack!! I can feel it in my clothes, too. He LOVES ice cream.

Your WIP looks like it's going to be very pretty. :)

Your DD looks so cute - PBS for a healthy delivery and baby.
Castles has a good start. Looking forward to the pics of your finish!

Nice start to the Castles. I am doing that one too and love it.

I just started the SAL last night....didn't see the *middle isn't really the middle* until I got too far! I can see the difference in your start. I think I will have plenty, I left 3" for the border. I hope the placenta thing works it's way out. I know I was concerned with all the things that could go wrong with my daughters pregnancy and delivery and it went without a hitch! Yours will too.

Nancy, I almost didn't see that right away either, but when I did I drew a darker line down the middle of the printed chart and that helped me figure out how best to put it on my fabric. I was going to grid out the whole thing, but I desperately need new glasses and just decided to mark the middles and that's helped enough itself.
