While we're away

We have a few diversions for your amusement:

A Brief History of [Kitchen Renovation] Time. Enjoy a picture tour of how and why we ended up with the fabulous, but unintended, kitchen we have today.

Our knitting gallery. Jen took up knitting in January to cope with grief, boredom, and a really, really boring grad class. A few weeks later, Cait got the flu, decided she felt too sick to read but that teaching herself to knit would be JUST the thing, and we were off to the races. We have knit our hopes and love into booties, blankets, and odds and ends for our future child and children of friends.

A Puzzle. Y'all seem like brainy types. We thought we'd give you a little brain teaser to keep you occupied. Home-baked goodies to the first one to solve the puzzle!

  • Actually, Shelli tipped us off (very discretely) on the board. And since you're heading her way anyway, she should get the goodies. It was a very clever puzzle and an even better message!

  • How do you go from Zero ___ God, not to mention the rest, to a baby?? Your blog's purpose seems to be making me look daft! And I don't even care bcs, see, baby!

    BABY! The smart ones say baby and that is good enough for me, MAZAL TOV!!!

  • So, not a "zero". An "oh". OH. And, there were links, rather obvious you'd think they'd be but noooo, some of us apparently cannot see links!

  • YAY!!! OMG - I wish you both all the best - FX FX FX for you!!!!

    and NOW I get the puzzle... I was hung up on the Emily thing until I realized I had to change the year - wondering why Emily, whoever she is, was getting so much attention here (and was thinking if Jen & Cait were fake names... ;-))

    Congrats!!!

  • I already got the goodies, and got to hear the news in person, so I am automatically "disqualified" :)

  • Thanks for all the congratulations. Jen's dad was the funniest reaction so far. "On purpose?" No, Dad, see there was this flying sperm....

    By Blogger Cait, at 7:31 AM  

  • Am so thrilled for you both!
    May it be the stickiest bean the world has ever known...
    Hoping for a completely uneventful 9 months ahead for you.

  • Oh - OK, now I get it! I was ignoring the puzzle. I hate puzzles. But this one is great!

    Congratulations - just wonderful! Very very best of luck.
