Ten-Year-Old Selfie
Twenty-Year-Old Selfie
My son, Kai, left for college at CSU Moneterey Bay last weekend. I've shed some tears over it, but I'm also so happy for him. He lives in MONTEREY now, after all. I was in labor with him for over twenty-four hours, and when he was finally born, he was a little the worse for wear, with a pretty big conehead. I remember looking down at him and thinking, "I'm going to love him no matter how funny looking he is." Well, I think he's pretty darn handsome now, and I know mothers are extremely biased, but he is a wonderful person and has been such a blessing to me, especially in the wake of his sister, who I also love a bunch, but who has kept up hopping, to put it nicely, for a big part of her life.
I am never that into knitting during the last part of the summer, what with 100 degree temperature, but I've been knitting quite a bit lately, probably for a little comfort. I've been knitting
Pleiades with some blue Malabrigo yarn. I bought it in Monterey in July when we were looking for apartments for Kai.
It's an easy pattern, but I didn't want to have to focus too much while we were driving in the car up to Monterey, so I started some ribbed socks with some variegated Cascade yarn I've had forever.

Awww, he's a cutie! I loved what you said about the two kids -- when one is, um, a little more difficult, it really helps you appreciate the goodness of the other one doesn't it? I hope the transition goes well for you -- it's sad but exciting all at the same time!
I love seeing the 2 selfies back to back. How strange it must be to have the house back down to two people, but it will be a fantastic adventure for all of you!
