Some people skateboard, and are really good at it. There are those who cook or sing or write. Others knit. Then there is this man. He plays music with his hands. And he rocks. (He’s got something for everyone, so be sure to check out some of other videos.) ETA Mr. Interrupted’s reaction: “It’s like [...]

Done! Yarn: Knit Picks’ Wool of the Andes Pattern: Knitting Pure & Simple Child’s Tunic. More details can be found on Ravelry. Isaac had forgotten one of the two (yes, two) sweaters he owned at a playdate, so I worked hard to get this sweater finished quickly. For a knitter’s kid, Isaac was sadly deficient [...]

Right now…

Posted in cute kids on April 1, 2008 |

…at this exact moment, a thunderstorm is passing over our home. The kids, still not in bed, are standing next to me on my chair, looking out the window, watching the rain and lightening. Here is what my youngest said to me when I explained to him that it’s only the weather: it’s nothing afraid. [...]
