Such a dazzling coat of many colors...

And when Joseph tried it on
He knew his sheepskin days were gone

Here are some pictures of my most recent project: The Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann. This one is sized at a 2T and for my son. I started knitting this jacket around the anniversary of my grandmother's death. It wasn't intentional, but I couldn't help but to think of her while doing it. She was an amazing knitter and taught me how to knit. I wondered if she had ever tried this pattern, since it was most popular in the 60's. It is wonderful how something as simple as knitting or baking can be passed on from grandparent or parent to child. I wonder what things I'll pass on to my children and grandchildren.

Easter in Charleston part 3

Check out the kids in their Easter duds! Rybolt's jumper was made out of one of Matt's old dress shirts by Nana Garvin.

Easter in Charleston part 2

After a morning at the beach, we headed over to meet friends at the Palmetto County Park. We packed a picnic and sunscreen. This is the same park that my brother and I used to work at when we were teenagers. It hasn't changed much. The kids loved climbing up the observation tower and running through the fields. Unfortunately the playground was closed for repair. The kids didn't seem to mind though!

Easter in Charleston part 1

We had back to back travel weeks here at the Miller house! This past weekend was Easter and we headed down to Charleston to see friends and family. We arrived late Thursday and woke up on Friday to find it a great day to get breakfast and then hit the beach! Rybolt took one look at the water and wanted to go straight in. Baikal was more interested in playing with the sand and running from the surf.

Venka's wedding

We had a wonderful time in Houston for Venka and Devika's wedding. Devika was a beautiful bride and Venka was a lucky groom. Baikal had a great time with her friend Tejas and enjoyed being barefoot for the ceremony.
