There's No Place Like Home

We were in Macdoel. Now, we are home. How wonderful. We actually drove home last Sunday. We got to surprise my Mom for Mother's day. That was fun! Scott worked really hard to be able to make it home by Sunday.

This wasn't our best time in Macdoel. We ended up staying more than half of the time in a "bunk" house. Initially, we thought it was only going to be a night or two. Then, it was 9 days... It was one room, beds & a kitchen, with a smaller room with laundry & bathroom. Gillian had to sleep in the laundry/bath. Poor girl. And, poor us, we couldn't use the bathroom, anytime she was asleep...

Gillian, Peyton & Scott all got some sort of stomach bug & were pretty sick. We had only a few days of wellness. Everyone was healthy today, thankfully! Peyton seemed to be getting sick again, after we got home. But, he seems fine now.

I didn't get a whole lot of projects finished. But, I did watch quite a lot of t.v.!

I knitted a hat for Peyton (which he has not been wearing since we got home).
I made a little embroidered felt case for my mom, for wallet-sized photos.

And, I made this sock elephant for a baby gift . Sadly, his ears are a little small looking. I think that is because I cut them too big, and they curl in towards his head too much. Oh well...

Well, we are glad you are back and I say he's the cutest little pachyderm I've seen (I'm really not being biased just because he came home with us!).
