Knit Knit

While we were in Tenn. my sister-in-law was crocheting scarfs and caps for her grand daughters. I did a set to help her out and to pass the time. That led to me doing scarfs for B, By, and L for Christmas. By wanted a cap too so I did one for him while we were there. Since I did not bring along a winter cap for me I knitted one for me. Then when we got to West Point C wanted a poncho and P needed a cap. So the crochet hook and knitting needles came out. Here are C and P in theirs.
It has been a number of years since I have done any of this, but I did remember how.

Hanging Out

I guess that I had better get this updated. We have been hanging out at West Point.

Not long after we got here we had a good snow storm. School got canceled two days because of snow one day and ice the next. The kids had fun playing in it.

The weather now has changed. We have had a few days above freezing, one in the fifties, and most of the snow is gone. Funny thing, there were three robins who showed up two days before it first got warm. We thought they were lost but maybe they knew something we didn't.

C has done quit well with her art. Last year her picture won her category locally and then won regionally, and went to the national level. She has won again this year locally. We got to see this years before it went on to the next level.

We have been to two more music performances. One of those was a steel band, which of course, our son-in-law is in. You just can't sit still listening to Calypso music. They were playing in an old church just off post.
Since we have never taken the official tour, B and I decided that we would do that. It took about an hour and we learned a few things that we didn't yet know about the area.

Last week-end the other set of grandparents came. C turned eight on Friday. She had a party at school, one at the bowling alley after school, and then one at home that evening with family. Do you think she had enough parties?

Then Saturday morning was her baptism. We were glad that we could be here for that.

Thanks to the other grandparents and all their points, B and I stayed in a motel while they were here. That gave them more time with the kids and the kids a chance to get some pool time. Of course B loved that too.
