Update and TAGGED

First the update. I managed to finish that cute pink baby quilt just in time for the new baby to come home from the hospital. I got my machine back and then ran out of the pink thread! But now it is done and given to the proud parents. But guess who forgot to take photos of the quilt?!!?!? Oh well. I asked my son to take some pictures of little Sophia with the quilt but so far haven't gotten any. We are going down there again this weekend, for Sophia's baby blessing, so I hope to get some pictures then. But for now, here is a photo of the happy family.

She was born on March 7th at 8:13 pm, was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 21 inches long. And she has tons of hair! Not something that is normal for either our family or her mother's family. But she is a cutie and a welcome addition to our family.

Now for the tag. My daughter tagged me and I think that I just have to put in my responses to what she had on her blog so here goes:

You lived in New York?

Way to go on no photo of the quilt, sheesh. But I can understand as I keep forgetting to get photos of jewelry I make and then sell.

Yep, we lived on Long Island when I was in 7th grade. Dad worked at Brookhaven National Lab for a year. I guess it was before your time. Boy does that make me feel old!

Hopefully I'll get photos of the quilt this weekend. Maybe I'll remember this time.
