HMF and The Marietta Edgars
March 22nd, 2008Abigail does a thing called “Hand-knit Fridays,” or HKF, in which she posts what hand-knit items she or her family members are wearing on Fridays. Violet’s gotten some beautiful hand-made gifts from some truly talented family members and friends, so here she is wearing an adorable tiny item knitted by her friend Kate. Kate lives in Portland, Oregon, and stopped by when she recently visited her brother in L.A. to visit with us, meet Vib, and drop off some lovely gifts she had made. This dear little cardigan is made of cotton, hand-dyed in what Kate described as “Oregon color,” which implies all sorts of things, from Birkenstocks, to chilly rain, to organic cereal, and we now call it her Oregon Sweater.
The Oregon Sweater was the perfect outerwear for Violet’s first trip to the beach. As you can see, there was no end to her enthusiasm.
Our current visitors, my dad and Pauline, have been enjoying Vibble immensely, especially when she smiles. Here is a conversation had this morning:
Stevel: “I think her eyebrows are starting to fill in more than Kristan’s contribution allows for.”
Big Steve Edgar: “Well, we’ll know for sure whose daughter she is [Stevel's] when she starts walking and doesn’t stop.”
Stevel: “And we’ll know for sure whose granddaughter she is when she starts talking and …”

This one is from Grandad; I am using krissy’s computer.
I don’t care who she looks like as long as she continues to grow as beautifull as she is. She seems to be growing before your very eyes. Getting bigger and more active every day. Bath time is cool/warm with the new tub krissy and stevel bought. It monitors the water temperature and maintains a constant flow of fresh water. Violet likes it very much. Mama and Pappa we have another mermaid in the family. We need to buy ocean water stock now, while it is cheap.
We have had such a great time with the lavietes family. they are fun to be with and to watch also. I would highly recommend that you include a stop or stay at their home as part of your travel plans this year. It is a fun and exciting trip.

LOVE that little smile! Looks like she had “fun” at the beach – sleeping all snuggled up in a nice warm blanket in her stroller being one idea of Vibble-Fun. What a darling sweater! (I’ll bet THIS little girl NEVER lacks for something cute to wear.) Give her a big kiss for me – wish I could just stop over and take her for a walk to the park and back in the sunshine. Miss you all!

I still can’t believe you have a kid.
