Just needed an easier way to keep in touch with y'all in these busy times.

Rabbits












What's with the rabbits?
Well, we will spend next week here.

Never thought I would pick a place like this, but we wanted to go away for a few days, not too far, in a pretty wooded area, and with a pool close by so we can finally go swimming with Bram.

And that's how people with small children end up in a Landal Green Park...

Shoot!

As promised, here's Bram showing his fabulous (if I may say so myself) new sweater:











He has worn it twice now, for about 5 minutes...
Shoot: it itches!
And it really feels so nice, I think.
Now I have to look for a long-sleeve shirt with a collar that he can wear underneath.
By the time I've found it it will probably be summer )-:
And the worst part is that I not only had another project in mind for him with similar yarn, I am currently working on a cardigan which is also made of wool.
Can you never use wool for babies?
But the cardi I am working on is more like a jacket, that he will wear outside over his other clothes I assume. So I will finish that.
That leaves me with two big fat balls of (sock)yarn and the big doubt of weather or not to use it.
Any suggestions?
Any takers for the yarn? I'll trade for something similar that is not likely to itch...
It is cream-colored with little brown thingies, sort of a tweed-effect I guess.

Bram was supposed to wear his new sweater to his great-grandma's 90th birthday last week.
The sweater didn't go, but we did of course.
Here's our '4 generations'-picture:











He is getting so big so fast!
He loves to stand up now:














One more week and he will be 10 months... Incredible.
