I returned home Monday night after a spectacular weekend with my grand-girls! I flew to Boston to stay with the moms... Kim and Laura and absolutely adorable Maja who turned 6 months old on Valentine's Day! Daughter Kristin and her fantastic girls Abby almost 6 and Chelsea 4 1/2 came in Saturday and we had a sleepover Saturday night! What fun! Son Kjell and his girlfriend Charlene came to enjoy the lasagne dinner I made Saturday and had some Maja time too!
Maja is the happiest, easiest baby I've ever known! She grins whenever you look her way... and goes to sleep without a peep for 10-11 hrs a night! How I enjoyed my babysitting time on Friday and again Sunday night when I encouraged the moms to have some time to themselves by going to a movie.
With Abby's birthday and Valentine's Day approaching we had lots to celebrate. I knit Pipi Longstocking hats with earflaps & braids for all 3 girls with a heart motif. Abby and Chelsea put them on and never took them off! That warmed my heart! I'm in the process of finishing up matching mittens. It was a great way to use up bits of left over washable cotton and cotton-blend yarns I had accumulated after weaving scarves and sweater and doll knitting. I also gave them little felt heart hair clips based on a pattern from the Purl Bee that they loved. We enjoyed a heart shaped birthday cake after dinner. Then it was time to all snuggle on the pull out couch in the living room and watch Look Who's Talking. I was in heaven!

Maja and the bigger than life-size doll I made her for Christmas. (My... what a big head the doll has!!!)
I feel blessed!
love the hats, what a cute baby
ReplyDeleteI love the hats and how it warmed your heart that the girls didn't want to take them off. The girls felt the love with which they were made.
ReplyDeleteI am so lucky to have the 3 most adorable grand-daughters in the whole wide world!!!
