Finished project

This is my first  completed knitted project using both purl and knit stitches!
It's a dishcloth with the state of South Carolina at the top and 'S C' at the bottom.  The colors make it hard to see, but I like how the white made an 'X'.

Boo-ya

I figured out my password :)

I did a 'data dump' on my computer a few days ago and I couldn't figure out which password/username I'd used to create my google account, so I couldn't get into my blogger account.

Let's see...
My last update was on the 29th of Sept, which is a long time ago.  Since then, things have been crazy around here.

Aaron is being tested for behavioral issues.  His teacher is amazed about how much he knows, but he can't seem to control himself in class.  He's disruptive and even getting into fights in class.  Some of the fights have been self defense (another kid pushed him down and he came up swinging) but others have not been prompted by anything.  He's learning so fast though, which usually doesn't happen when kids have these behavioral issues, so the doctor is interested in how he's doing at school.  Hopefully by the end of the month, we'll have an answer to what's going on.  He's also finally gaining weight.  This past week, he went over the 30lb mark, which is a huge deal to us.
Zuri is also learning quickly.  She is full of surprises.  At her 18M check-up, her weight had dropped 3lbs from her 1 year, so when we went in for her 2 year and she had gained over 6lbs, the doctor was really happy.  Zuri is the 'good' eater.  She'll eat anything and everything put in front of her.  She's starting to get a 2 year old attitude, but she does it in such a sassy way, it's hard to get mad at her.
I've been doing really good with my new gym buddy.  We've tired a bunch of different classes together and it's been a lot of fun.  Our favorite is Zumba.  I have no co-ordination, so it's surprising that I'm as good at it as I am.  We've also made friends with the other regulars of the class and the instructor.  She's having a Halloween party and we're going in costume.  It's going to be awesome.  I haven't lost any weight in two weeks, but I've been doing a lot of weight lifting in the body pump class, so I'm hoping I've lost fat and gained muscle weight.  I've also been working on learning how to knit.  I can do the knit stitch, but not the purl.  Which means I can make a crap load of scarves and dish clothes, but nothing else.
That's all for now.  I know there's more, but my brain is mush...
