Welcome to the World!

So it's been ages since I've posted, and because I'm sans laptop at home, I've decided to break my #1 blogging rule. I'm blogging from work (granted on my lunch break, but still...).

But I have a very good reason to break the rule - afterall, one does not become an Aunt everyday, y'know!

As you can see, my nephew made his grand entrance into this world. He arrived on March 26th, and weighs about 9lbs 12 oz. He's absolutely adorable!

I should also report that I was able to complete the baby sweater in plenty of time before his birth! It took me just under a month of not-so-steady knitting to get it done. It turned out to be a easier-than-it-looks pattern and came together quickly. Here is the finished product:

Finished and ready to be wrapped:
Wrapped! Martha Stewart would be proud. I wrapped the gift in a light blue receiving blanket, tied with a white ribbon. Very baby-boy-appropriate!
That's all for now. As I said, I'm sans laptop for a little while until the darned thing is fixed. You won't see many posts from me in the meantime, but keep checking back, because I WILL RETURN!
