All of the Lights....

Random Chatter
Last night, around 5:30, our power came back on! It was amazing. I may have done a mini light show flipping all of our lights on and off. Sawyer was staying out at Weston's parents house for the night, as it was getting a bit chilly in the house. Weston and I went out to dinner because all of our dishes were in the dishwasher (getting CLEAN!) and it's always nice to have a dinner out without trying to wrangle a toddler.

The power couldn't have come on a moment too soon... over night the temperature dropped below freezing and we had a yard full of frost this morning. I am SO thankful that we have the heat and everything back. 4 days was a long time....

Sticks and String
I have the BEST friends. Remember my friend, Kelsey? I've blogged about her before... check out her blog if you haven't already... you are sure to be inspired.  Anyway, she stopped by on Friday night with her boys (the oldest started school this year... crazy!) and they had such a great time with Sawyer. She had brought by a little gift for me... and I couldn't believe what it was. Remember how I lost my knitting bag with the Baby's coming home outfit in it?! Well, Kelsey had knit me the exact same outfit! It is a grey blue with grey trim and star buttons and it is incredible and perfect. I was just SO touched and overwhelmed at her generosity... (and again amazed by her ability to finish so much in such a short amount of time!) I will post pictures soon, but Weston has the camera at the moment (which is in the birth bag, which is in his car...).

Again, I am reminded that knitters are amazing and I am lucky to be surrounded by such generous people....
