two sisters

My sister and I had a quick photoshoot the other day.  It was great- until we got too cold and tired of using the tripod and camera timer.  : )   I love my sister!

Waking Up

tea.

Just a quick post for tonight-  I wanted to let all of you know I have officially become a tea drinker.  Very exciting, I know.  You see, I have this really great schedule this semester that allows me to be home SO much more  (yay for internet classes)  and I have been having lots of tea and wearing sweatpants every day and not really doing my hair.  It's wonderful.  I sit with my tea and my textbooks by the fireplace in the living room.  Anyway, my current favorite tea is Chamomile Citrus. 

finished project

Just wanted to share the finished knitting project I wrote about a few posts ago....

: )

days at home

Just a few pictures from around home today.  I am so thankful for days of not leaving home at all, being comfy in my sweatpants, spending time with my little brother, and the relief that comes from turning in my last big projects for the semester. 

Here's some of the little guy from today.  I was trying to teach him how to put on his socks, and he was in a mischievous giggly mood and wasn't paying any attention, so I gave up and pulled out the camera. 

And then I got this:  the classic cheesy smile.  All the photos I have taken of this child in his 3 years of life have now led to a classic case of cheesy smiles when the camera is out.  I will be battling this for about the next 10 years (at least).  : )  He's pretty cute though, cheesiness and all. 



I caught this one, too.  I just love that face, with his long eyelashes and crooked teeth. 

This is where I was parked for about 3 weeks leading up to thanksgiving.  I was glad when it got cold enough for hot chocolate and a fire to make studying little more fun.

I have been working on a new knitting project.  I can't tell you what it is just yet, but I'll post pictures when I can.   Mom, Jenna and I are also all working on scarves, mine's the orange one in the picture.  I've been teaching my mom and my aunt how to knit.  There's just nothing like learning to knit to make you feel really klutzy- I remember it well.  : )  One mistake and everything is unravelling.

Here's my kitty.  I let her come in the house on a cold day, and she slept all afternoon on my bed.  She's getting to be an old lady of a cat, she'll be 11 in the spring.

  Jonathan and I put up some of the living room Christmas decorations the other day.  He loves Christmas lights.  Whenever he sees a house decorated he yells "CHIRSTMAS, I see Christmas!!!" 

O.k., that's all I have for now.  Have a great week everybody!

My poor blog has been neglected lately...I've been studying, writing papers, and more studying.
Today I took a break and did no school at all!  :)  The end of the semester is in sight, and I am looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with family next week. 
Jonathan and I went for a walk today.  He was happy flying his toy plane and protecting us from aliens, and I was happy to be outside with my camera.
