adoption

YEAH!!!! The adoption is final and we are now not just custodial grandparents, we are parents again. Although BG thinks its great that her cousin is now her neice, said cousin wasn't too happy and whined that she didn't want to call her Aunt..lol.
If you look closely, you can see the devilish eyes of my kitten who insisted on sitting IN the tree while we tried to decorate. She has managed to take down everything we put up several times. She stays away from it during the day when we are around to yell at her, but sneaks in at night and strips the tree bare.
We had 5 inches of snow here this past week. And, of course, after I shoveled, we had another inch and are expecting freezing rain on top of it. Fun time of year....NOT.
Flying (FlyLady.net if you haven't heard) and family trials and celebrations have taken their toll around here. Homeschooling has been light or non-existent lately. Good thing we go year round around here!
Not much happening knit wise. Still working on the first Nagini sock which I have tinked or frogged about 6 times already. Finally turning the heel now. Still looking for the 'perfect' pattern to use for my 2nd skein of Wollmeise. Missed several of my Wednesday night group sessions and lost some of the motivation to get knitting done. Well, hopefully, next year I will get back on track.
Happy Hanukkah...Merry Christmas to one and all!!
