2016 changed our life FOREVER!

As I was nice and plump, at the end of my pregancy, I had a wonderful shower given to me by my dear friends, Beth and Katie.





Life became forever about a little girl named Kelsey Grace Lockhart, born Jan 31, 2016 at 3am, 8 lbs 9oz. I went into labor a week before my scheduled C-section, but I never felt a contraction! My water broke, and that's how I knew!










Kelsey got to meet lots of friends and family those first few months...





















And I won't lie, things were really really hard those first 6 months. But she was worth every minute. 




Coming home 




First Easter















First beach trip














And somewhere in the middle of all that, Mommy and Daddy both turned 40!

BEWARE the IDES of MARCH

Today's History Lesson: The ides of March is one day that continues to appeal, marked because that was the date that Julius Caesar was assassinated in the senate, in 44BC. Its modern-day memory is thanks, like so many things, to Shakespeare's way with words. In act one, scene two of Julius Caesar, Caesar asks a soothsayer what the future holds. Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music Cry "Caesar!" Speak. Caesar is turn'd to hear. Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March. I've decided to educate you guys a little bit more instead of just filling you in on what i eat, etc. Maybe I'm inspired my my new magazine subscription to Mental Floss... hmmm. we'll see how long it lasts.

Halfway thru first week already...

but it seems like i've been here forever! I fit in great. My boss is so nice, buti'm sad she will be on leave for all of July. I went to my first knitting group last night. It was the first meeting of a group in Cary/Apex. Everyone was so nice. There were about 20 of us. I assume as time goes on, the numbers will trickle down, but who knows. We were brimming with ideas of things to do, like going to a fiber fest in Asheville in October. I'm such a kntting nerd. And proud of it! Sat night I may go to the outdoor movie and concert at the NC Museum of Art. Dave may go with me. I think I'm on the guest list. That's what Dave Hartman, the drummer said. The band playing is Southern Culture on the Skids (jealous Marri?), and the movie is Talledega Nights. Hope it's a nice night. Mark and Beth are going to New Orleans to see the Police. Jealous am I! I hope to go in November in Atlanta, but we'll see if it sells out before I can afford it. LL
