I’m here! We were on vacation for the 4th and I’m slowly unpacking, putting away, etc. It always seems like it takes me at least as long as we were gone to put everything away. Probably because I’m trying to keep up with regular household b.s. as well. Dang kids, cats, and spouse making messes!

I got lots of knitting in on the trip, as Chris drove almost the entire time. Whenever I asked if he’d like me to drive, he said that he’d just be bored if he wasn’t driving. I was happy to have the knitting time! I finished a few things, but no pictures just yet. A couple of them have already gone to new homes (a soaker for Jess’s baby-to-be, a pair of mittens for my grandpa), one is in use (soaker for Arlo), one is in the car (baby hat). Plus there’s a sweater for Arlo that I’m working on, but the camera is in the other room and I’m too tired to go get it.

I’m nothing if not lazy, it seems. Taking a break from cleaning and laundry while Arlo naps and Grace is off with my mom. Someone’s setting of firecrackers across the street, hopefully they don’t manage to wake Arlo. I suppose if he’s been able to sleep through the commotion next door the last few months (huge home improvement project), he should be able to sleep through this.

I think I’m going to take a nap while I can. I’ll do my best to get some pictures up tomorrow!
