What Happened To November?

November has flown by. I am having a hard time believing it is December and Christmas is just a few short weeks away. I have noticed that since Chloe was born my life has been in extreme fast foward mode. So here is a little recap of the past month...Adah was a ladybug for Halloween. We went to my sisters house to trick-or-treat. Adah had a great time and wanted to eat all her candy when we got home.

I have done some knitting. I made a berry hat for Chloe.

I have been spending a ton of time on Ravelry . Ravelry is a website that you can organize all your completed knitting projects, works in progress (wip) and things you want to knit. Plus it allows you to keep track of all your yarn, needles, patterns and books. It is also super cool because you can meet other local knitters and see how others have knit a project that you have completed or want to do. It truly is an amazing thing.
We were able to spend Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania with Ethan's family. We had a really fun time. So much fun we didn't take any pictures!! Ethan's brother Hiram just released a Christmas album, Word>>>Flesh. Everyone needs to check it out it's really worth it! Here is an article written about him and the album. The album is avalible on itunes, just search Word>>>Flesh.
Ethan has been on a plant kick. I don't really mind; I think it makes the place look really nice especially since winter has kicked in. He recently made hanging window shelves for the plants.

It has been so nice to look at them with the mid afernoon sun coming through the windows.
We have joined the local YMCA. I have been really enjoying it. They offer a wide variety of classes. I have been taking spinning and yoga classes. Adah took a swim class and loved it. She practices blowing bubbles, kicking and "reaching and pulling" in the bath tub.
The girls keep us entertained on a regular basis. Adah was showing us how she "knits".

Adah loves being a big sister and Chloe watches Adah's every move. Having them has been an amazing learning experience, it is challenging at times but it is totally worth it.

Hi Amy

I'm happy you found my blog. It looks as if the Ring family is doing well. Your children are beautiful. I look forward to catching up on all your blog posts.

Yes, I'm knitting, and you'll never believe WHAT I'm knitting! Do you happen to remember the Fair Isle sweater I spent making my last year in Sitka? Well, it was too small for my son Craig, so I ordered more Bartlett yarn and I'm beginning a new one. I've got part of the body made; however, this one looks waaay too big. I'll rip it and start over again. Hopefully, like Goldilocks, the third time will be just right.

I'm also making scarves for some family and friends, so, like you, I'm madly knitting, hoping to make it by Christmas (not the sweater, of course - goodness knows when that will be done!)

Please give my best to dear Ethan. I wish you lots of love and cheer for the holidays!
