More Crafty Stuff

I finished three baby hats for The Girl, one for Benjamin with sweet ear flaps, and the brown throw that I've been working on forever. Also a yellow and blue scarf for a stuffed rabbit, which Benjamin is sort of attached to but not really. He's not one to carry around a "lovey," but he does enjoy inspecting its eyes and ears and tossing it out of his crib :) The scarf makes it go well in his very yellow nursery!
I liked how the ear flap hat turned out and probably will be making some more.

Finally Done

Just a quick post to say I just finished reading the Bible in a year!! Well, a little over a year. I was way behind but doubled up to finish before January was over. Now I'm starting again.

I just discovered the possibility of listening to my daily readings using the downloadable MP3 on the ESV Chronological Reading Guide. The readings are not dramatized, just plain and simple and easy to listen to. I like turning one on as I crochet during one of Benjamin's naps. It's a great way to multitask and get those readings in. I'm not an aural learner, but it is easy for me to follow along when I'm doing something else with my hands.

Recently Benjamin has created his own "quiet crib time." When he's looking tired, I put him in there with some toys and go in the next room to check email or do readings. I check on him every few minutes, and eventually he falls asleep by himself. This is such a change from before and so nice!
