I have been a bit scarce lately. Preparing for our road trip, almost 1000 miles one way with 3 kids, then camping with no amenities makes for a lot of planning and work. And then this week, I attended a birth lasting all day and night, with a horrendous cold, and I started menstruating again- after more than 2 years, with Caroline's pregnancy and breastfeeding. Of course Aunt Flo would come visiting again just when I least wanted her to. Oh, well. It is a good sign that I am actually getting by body back again.
I am looking forward to getting away from all of my daily responsibilities here. Hoping for lots of knitting, sun, good times with friends, a little bit of climbing and fun and adventures with my dear family and really hoping to come back home refreshed.

Glimpses of Spring
Spring is peeking it head through the clouds of winter, teasing us with sun breaks, followed by rain showers. This year is the first year that I can feel how the winter effects my mood and I am looking forward to our Spring Vacation in the Southern Cal desert.
Esther's school auction was a success. I am glad it is over. I am now on call for a birth, and am hoping it is this weekend. The car is tuned up, new tires and ready for a road trip. I am squirrelling away goodies to pull out during our trip to keep little (and big) children happy. I have a few new knitting projects started- Branching Out scarf; Cabled Hat for Caroline, though I am not thrilled with the color; and am ready to cast on for Shedir in Rowan Calmer Onyx, though am rethinking the color there, too; and ready to cast on for Jaywalkers, too, but I may wait until my LYS has Addi turbos in the size I need so that I can knit with two circulars. I have ambitious plans for our many hours in the car.
Caroline has a cold. Plus she and I are battling thrush. Sleep is still scarce, but I am getting enough to stay relatively sane. I am keeping my head down, just trying to get through these obligations in March. Looking forward to a week away with my honeys to bask in the sun, sun, sun.
Here are pictures of our little bathing beauty.
