In the spirit of keeping up with my goals and making a point to travel- we made a mini trip to the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Montezuma Castle this past weekend.
The grand canyon is breathtaking - every time I see it I am completely in awe and amazed at nature. Now I can tell Abby when she gets older, "see you were there!"
I've been away from this space waiting for my camera which broke on me to be fixed. At first I thought it was a faulty CF card but after receiving a new one last night it's actually much worse than that - the pins inside the camera where the memory card goes in somehow got slightly bent. Sending it off to Canon to be fixed outside warranty was estimated to cost around 200-400 dollars. A new one is about 1100. So - hubby is going to be working his magic to see if he can bend them back into place. I really hope so - I have a fancy lens rental coming my way from Camera Lens Rentals for the Christmas/New Year and I'm so disappointed if I won't get to use it.
Anyhow - so I'll be away from this space until the camera issues get worked out and doing a mini digital sabbatical to spend time with my family over the Christmas Holiday.
In the meantime I'll leave you with a photo of our Christmas card this year - Abby was so cute and I just wasn't feeling it being photo'd this year so she got to take center stage. Photographing her was like trying to hit a moving target! Every photo was so cute, I wish you could see them all!
Merry Christmas!
Since that time I've had to re-learn to be still. I've been enjoying these quiet morning hours. To sit and enjoy the fleeting moments like this, cuddling with the baby in bed in the early morning hours. Sitting next to her, sipping coffee. Watching the birds at our feeder out the window. Watching the bees buzz over our garden. Crocheting a few rows. And I'm loving it. This embracing the moment and taking things how they come is a good thing.
How are you embracing the moment today?
Thank you all for the welcoming baby love! Time sure flies when you've got a little one - it's like I blinked and almost 3 months has gone by. Abby is growing so fast and we're slowly establishing a good schedule and it's starting to feel like things are going back to normal. I finally got back to running last week! And I started working from home again when Abby was about 1 month old.
In the meantime, I'm grateful to my baby carriers to give me a sense of normalcy and even better some freedom. I've been trying to make it a point to get out of the house.

My latest obsessions have been involving my sewing machine - all the projects take much less time. I've gone a little crazy and bought a snap press, joined a bunch of fabric co-ops and am now learning how to sew my own cloth diapers. Fun! I love learning new things!
Some of you may have been wondering why my posts have been few (er) and far (ther) between lately. Well, if you're a friend on flickr or facebook you already know the big news but I wanted to share it here as well.
Here's my latest WIP - KnittyGrittyBaby.
Estimated completion date - May 23, 2010!
