I learned to knit and crochet from my mom, who learned from my grandma and my great-grandma who was born in England......and so it goes back through the generations. My mom would let me work with her even when I was little. I don't think I was actually able to make anything till I was about 8 years old, but I thought it's never too early to start teaching Annie these homemaking skills. She had so much fun and she's even holding her hook really well. I discovered years ago that I knit and crochet in the English style (which make sense since my great-grandmother was English). When I saw people working in the American style I couldn't figure out how they were able to make anything holding their needles/hooks upside down. Anyway, I will be passing on the English style on to Annie. (She's making slippers here, just like I was making) :)
Oh, and I forgot to post a picture of Michael after he lost his first tooth. Between both of the boys we lost teeth 3 nights in a row and I think the tooth fairy was tired of coming to our house.
