Back To School and More....

Been quite awhile since I have sat down to write a blog. It seems like there is always something that needs to be done or someone that needs my attention, or both, and I don't even have a "real" job. Speaking of that, I recently spent time over at my sister's house and it seems amazing to me that she holds it all together. Her responsibilities are insane with 6 kids, 2 dogs, a husband, and a full-time job. I have no idea how she manages as I only have one kid, a husband, one dog, and no job, and I still feel like I don't have enough time in my day to accomplish everything I want to.
I got Isabel off to her first year of school which has left my days a lot quieter. It is such a bittersweet feeling sending your baby off to school, I cry practically every morning after I drop her off...

                            Here she is on her first day of school ready to take on the world!
I have been getting quite a bit of knitting and sewing done with my house empty during the day, but have not been great at taking pictures unfortunately. During my stay at my sister's house we decided to knit Halloween bags, I had so much fun with the first one that I decided to alter the pattern and make a second one....

Aren't they just too cute!?
I did start the cutest hat for Isabel which I was so excited about but I ended up having to frog the whole thing because I did not check my gauge and the hat turned out to be big enough to fit a giant...Needless to say I was very unhappy!

                                                  I just had to take a picture of it.
In other news, I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant. I took two tests and both showed a big, fat positive. Matt and I are both super excited but also super scared and praying that we will be able to keep this one. It is still very early. I have a call into the doctor to see if starting progesterone therapy is something I should consider doing. I am trying to stay positive and I am glad I have support from others.

                            These two are my favorites :) (Isabel in a jumper sewn by Mama of course)
Without anything profound to say, I will sign off and head back to my couch and my snuggly Charlee for awhile, ah bliss.
