Acute Myleoid Leukemia- Research

My grandfather has been diagnosed with Acute Myleoid Leukemia. So now we are trying do some research on this topic to get a better understanding.

Dermatologists found it to be rare. They took a biopsy and determined it to be a myleoid sarcoma.

Here is a link to the cancer association website:

Anyone who has information that may read this please send me whatever you have.

Hannah Concert comes to a close

We have been psycho busy lately!!!

Dare I even try to mention what all we've been doing lately. I have been knitting, sewing, making yarn dolls, keeping up with school with the kids. We've had the stomach flu . . . . it goes on and on and on.
And at the very last minute we were able to get tickets to Hannah Montanna's Concert - in Columbus, two hours away from us.

Toys for Maggie

I have a new project idea . . . what a surprise!!! I've decided to try to make Maggie some baby toys. I have been looking to find some patterns, but couldn't find much that I liked. Here is a link to one toy I think is so neat, I want to try to make:

I think I am actually addicted to knitting! Shhhhhh . . . don't tell anyone. I'm now searching for any excuse to knit. I'm afraid I've passed this addiction on to one of my children. I'm not suppose to tell anyone, but, they have been sneaking and knitting with me. I'm sure it will spread to the others soon. There will be no hope for us.

Botany: the light hut goes large

We made a little light hut for our botany class, but now that we realize what we can do with it, we needed to make a much larger one. So, I found an old wardrobe box, that we had when we moved and we hadn't used it. It is now our light hut.

Caleb and Noah are really getting into the seeds, they love checking to see if they have made progress. Caleb just started his, and he keeps telling me that he thinks the plant is trying to break out of the seed. He's so smart. I love his simple logic sometimes.

We've decided to propagate some houseplants, Sarah's thinking of selling them. It's a good idea. I'm willing to help her if she's willing to try it.

It did take some time to make, but the kids are learning a lot. It's worth it!
