Returning to you...as an UNCLE!

Man oh man, the end of the summer was brutal, as is apparent by my lack of anything going on here. My summer class ended one week before my one and final fall semester class, so I will finally be graduating college in December, 12 years after I started ;)

My brother and his wife had their first baby this past Thursday at 10:30 pm. JJ (Jarrod Jacob) was 6 lbs 4 oz and 18 3/4" long. So I'm an uncle and very excited about it. He's the cutest little bugger I've ever seen (I might be a little biased).



Some knitting and spinning has been happening, but not much. I finished Jarrod Flood's Habitat last week and am completely in love with! And because it is getting very autumnal outside and was only 55 degrees F when I left the house this morning, it made it's inaugural appearance in public today. I don't want to take it off...ever.

Here it is partially done...I don't have a finished picture yet, I'll be sure to do that.

He's adorable! And boy did that picture take me back: when my older son was born, the hospital put the exact same hat on him. Given that he's 24 now, it's kind of amazing to see again.

Re the redwood: they're very tall because that way their tops pierce the ocean fog, which condenses and runs down their trunks, providing plenty of water in an otherwise semi-arid climate. So they have very shallow roots. We get some freezing here, but not much and not long; dunno how Massachusetts temps would effect them.
