The day was perfect for knitting outdoors. We all gathered at Woodland Park and the meeting became a Baby-palooza! Mary’s daughter, Larissa, was there with Aurora. Francy’s daughter, Betsy, was there with daughter, Grace and son, Owen. Then Leslie came with her daughter Sienna and granddaughter Mira. Wow. That’s a lot of kiddies.
Knitters and babies and toddlers, oh my!
Baby Owen and Aurora played with Grace’s dolls, while Grace looked on.
They played together very well.
Owen was the happiest baby I think I’d ever seen. He loved everybody and visited all of us with a big smile on his face.
Mira was interested in Owen.
Michele finally got her hands on Owen.
Linda had to get in some practice. He’ll have a grandson to hold very soon!
We couldn’t believe how big Grace had grown! She’ll soon be four years old!
Such a big girl!
We hadn’t seen Mira in nearly a year, so we all fell in love with her red curls. So cute!
Miss Mira.
Aurora was keeping her eye on Deb and Julie, who actually brought something to knit! Imagine that. They don’t have grandchildren…yet.
Hey! Why aren’t you two playing with a baby?
Sheesh, what do you think this is? A knitting meeting?
Owen crawled all over and was a big hit. When you’re the only boy in the crowd, it’s important to be the center of attention, right?
Go, Owen, go!
Not a lot of knitting was done, but we all got our kid fix. It was fun to watch the girls run around and the lone male crawl. Darling children. Next week, we’ll be heading out to Francy’s rather than meet in the park. Strictly speaking, it’s not a Castoff’s meeting, although many of us will be there. Betsy is setting up her jewelry road show and Francy is feeding us. What could be better?
See you next time. Keep those needles blazing and enjoy August!
