| Hello, Baby Nathan! |
I didn't manage to finish his blanket before he arrived, but we've got so many from Andrew's baby days that I'm not worried. Still, I want Nathan to have something that was just his, so I'll be sure to finish it before too long. Being a second child myself who always got hand-me-downs from my older brother, I'm pretty conscious about making sure the younger child gets new stuff too.
Andrew's been adjusting to being a big brother, and more importantly, having to share our attention with Nathan. Can't say the transition hasn't been bumpy, and it continues to be a challenge, but we're happy with our family make-up. Here are some photos of Andrew to round out the kid-related part of this post.

| With moments like this, we get the feeling that things will be okay. Then again, the camera didn't capture Andrew diving onto Nathan. |

Aww, I love the frowny face picture of Nathan! I am sure Andrew will turn out to be a great big brother -- apparently I used to hit my sister when she first arrived and we turned out ok. ;)
You've been amazingly productive on the crafty side, much more so than I have of late and I don't have children to deal with!
Well, to be fair, the milkweed shawl was done a long time ago and just needed blocking. The dog and the scarf were finished before Nathan arrived, so I've only managed the hat since he was born, and that was driven by necessity. And the other truth is that I need to squeeze in a little crafting every day in order to stay sane. Sometimes the kids drive me bananas!
