Today we had Jon’s parents, his aunt, uncle, and cousin, and a couple who are friends of the family over for dinner and croquet. We had a low country boil (so good), and it was a lot of fun. The pugs dressed up a little, but that didn’t last long. They looked cute while it…

Gettin Knitty With It While Rachel and Lisa were visiting they taught me how to knit. I caught on pretty quickly and worked on some practice yarn for a good long while. Then I finally got brave and moved on to some funky pink yarn Rachel left. Then yesterday I started a new project with…
