Baby Day

Yesterday was Baby Day. Jamie and baby Sylvie came over for lunch and some girl time. I finally got to give them some of the knitted gifts I made long long ago. Here Sylvie is chilling out on her Big Bad Baby Blanket. (I'll post more F.O. pictures soon).


The pets aren't used to babies in their house. Fanny and Jack both had to have a smell. Sylvie must have passed muster because they were pretty much over it after the smell fest.



After Jamie and Sylvie went home to spend some time with visiting relatives, I headed over to visit Jerri and baby Zoe.

The weather cleared up in time for Joey to join us for a walk. Minneapolis definitely has some beautiful areas to walk around. Jerri knew a good route that took us past some nice houses, Lake Harriet (right, Jerri?) and down the Greenway past some awesome community gardens. Jerri and Zoe are pros at the walking thing. They logs multiple miles a day.

Joey is also fresh to Minneapolis. Although since he is not from here, his adjustment is a little more profound than mine. He relocated from NYC, so we compared notes on the culture shock of moving from the keep-t0-yourself east coast to the friendly midwest. We are both learning how to say hi to strangers.

To top off the day, I went to my first MN knitting group. The group that meets at Common Roots Cafe was having the last of their ice cream knitting nights. It was nice to be out of the apartment and to be knitting again! I'm excited for next time because I have heard good things about Common Roots.
