family

So, so sorry that there has been this huge gap in the posts. Life has kinda gotten in the way of blogging, but has given me some great fodder. Blog fodder.


I have recently undergone a name change. While I am still Gina, and Honey and Darling and whatever else Duane calls me, I am now also known as Grams.

Yep. There has been a little one added to our family. D3, "The Boy," has a daughter. While this little one has been added to our family in a non-traditional way, and doesn't bear the Swigert name yet (that is in the works... he needs to be added as the father on the birth certificate,) she is now a part of the fabric of our lives.

We found out about her when she was 5 months old. So, as you can see, I am seriously behind in my knitting for her!!! But, I have started to make up for it. I knit her this bunny from Debbie Bliss's "Knit Toys."

I finished it at knitting last week, and she got it when she was with us last weekend...

At first, she was not too sure of it, but then we had her down on the floor for floor and tummy time. She really liked it!


She is a really sweet baby. Let me show you a couple of other shots of her...

This was her first day with us. Chance doesn't quite know what to think... here, he's trying to get my attention and Miss A can't take her eyes off him.

Here she is with Daddy and Grandpapa....


Well, that is that update... let's get the update on the diet. 58.6 pounds!!! I did take a break for my birthday so that we could go out to dinner. Mmm, Red Lobster. I did have a bit of a set-back because of it, but man, it was so worth it!  I know some people believe that saying, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels." Really? Then you're not eating the right things! LOL

Speaking of eating something really yummy. Blue Bunny's Red Velvet Cake Icecream! OMG!!! So freaking delicious. Duane said that it's the best ice cream he's eaten. Ever! I'd have to agree.

That's this episode in the tin! Until next time...
