I’m so lucky! My sister’s in town! « »

A couple of weeks ago, she graduated from law school. Here she is in her cap:
Tonya grad

Here we are at knitting night on Wednesday:
knitnight
(Marjorie, Becky, Me, Mom, Tonya.)

It’s extra nice to have her here RIGHT NOW. Nate and I found out that we’re having a baby!! And having my whole family together right now is SO COOL. We’ve been knitting a lot together (Tonnie crochets) and talking about baby stuff. It’s amazing.

She leaves on Tuesday already, and I can’t believe her trip is almost over!!

    Congratulations! What wonderful news :-) I hope you are feeling well and enjoying the wonder. Baby knitting is just so much fun. I am sure your wee one will be well outfitted.

    I, myself, am days away from the birth of my second :-)

    Best to you and Nate!

    […] Like most people who read Glampyre, I was really happy to hear Stefanie Japel’s recent news. I was equally happy to hear that her next-next book won’t be about baby knits. Clearly, babies do not require a constant fix of raglan minisweaters in the same way that I do. Glampyre Knits, I need you more than babies need you. […]
