Warsaw!

We had a mini family reunion last weekend at Jill's mom and dad's place. Jill's brother and family and we converged on Warsaw, IN. Older nephew is very excited to have 2 girl cousins on the way. Our girl will be the second. Jill finished crocheting a bear for younger nephew-- he likes it. You can see the head and ears in his arms, and the whole thing is extremely cute.
With a tip of the hat to Great Adventures, Jill's new crochet project is a blanket for our baby. We're getting her literary training started early with an alphabet blanket. Also, the baby's name is hereby revealed to her adoring public: Clara J___ (middle name still under discussion, but the 'J' beginning has been decided).


A while ago, a stately Canadian goose kept watch over the environs from the roof of our neighborhood electricians' office. We like to think of our neighborhood as mixed and chic with just a touch of dilapidation.

Oh, I love the name and am SO happy that you're having a little girl! We still pray for y'all and the baby every night with Kate and we miss you, but it's so nice to check in here and see that things are going well.

I love the name you have chosen for your little girl! The ABC blanket is beautiful - as always, amazing work by Jill! Clara is such a lucky little lady!

OK, are we open for J names? I don't think Jan works well with Clara, but how about Joy? I think that would be appropriate for this little bundle of "joy".

I love the blanket and can't wait for the little girl who will use it!
