Three Cheers For Steve

Steve came home last night with some cool and unexpected news. He has now worked at the Longmont Public Library as the systems administrator for 6 months. He was told that they want to "keep him". I, his wife, was very happy to hear this, and very happy that I hadn't known that his job was in question until after the 6 month review. Had I known, I wouldn't have hung anything on the walls yet. This is not because I doubt Steve's abilities in any way, it's because the city of Longmont has a hiring freeze, and as with most cities around America these days, are struggling to make budgets work. People are getting laid off from all sorts of jobs. We live in precarious times.
So, with that in mind the next bit of news was also a big surprise. He was not only told he's a "keeper", but this news came with a raise!!!!!!!!
If I wasn't afraid that a jump for joy would end in me breaking through the floor and landing in Noah's room, I would have. It's so awesome to have the people that Steve works for and with, not only be nice, neat people, but also to appreciate him and see him for the totally great guy he is.
So, again, 3 big cheers for Steve!! What a guy!!!!!

More Crochet Fun!

More Crocheting Christmas fun: These are one of the few projects I actually got finished for Christmas. These crocheted toys were next to the stockings for Noah, Tori and Cubby. The one I made for Steve is not in this grouping, but keep scrolling.

For Noah, a lemur!

For Tori, a hippo!

For Cubby, a lamby!

An owl for Steve!

A new scarf for Noah. Noah picked the colors. It's extremely soft, being made of a suede type yarn.

Check It Out!!!

Ok, I am a mom, and I don't' want to look like I'm playing favorites, but I have to say this:
If any of you out there in Blogland haven't take the opportunity to check out JennAdam's blog yet; do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to do so. They are so creative, clever and talented. It will blow your mind. Just click on the link on the right, under Links related to the Kenworthy Family.
On their blogsite they have a link that will also take you to their J.A. Toons site. That is another "must see"!
I think you will all agree that it's a "Big Two Thumbs Up" for JennAdam!!!!!!!!!
