Guess which one is happier, Zachary or Uncle Keithie????

Happy Birthday to You, Justin!!!! Here is Justin’s family on the “Sparky-cam” with a birthday message for Justin (his birthday was also on the Chinese New Year’s Day)….Justin was stuck in China waiting for his visa to be verified…….

…..and here is Justin at the Buddha that he made a wish to (notice he’s wearing the Thorpe hat I knitted him – awwwwww)…….maybe he made a wish that he were home????……….

…and here is Keith’s calendar at work this morning……finally, Justin gets to come home.

Smithsonian – who knew I’d find this there?

These pictures are from an exhibit I saw at the Smithsonian this week. I found it interesting – I was born in the sixties – I’m almost 50. Why does my son not have equal rights yet? Can we get rid of the words homosexual, gay, lesbian…..can it just be “human rights”?

Sparkles

This is Keith and Sparky (I call him Sparkles). Sparky is rambunctious and a wild child but……..has a baby side to him too………

The blanket that anticipation built…..

When Danielle was pregnant with little Mr. Zachary, all six of us (Corey, Danielle, Mark, myself, Keith and Justin) were at Hobby Lobby and we all picked out yarn for a blanket for this little fetus. It’s not the colors you would normally expect for a one-year old, but who wants to be normal? He grew out of his baby blanket I crocheted for him, so this is his next blanket made with the yarn picked out with love before he was even born. Here he is chillin’ – watching tv……….

…….and at bedtime in his playpen during an overnight visit……..

Double pride

tmcknit — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:22:43 +0000

Double pride – that’s what I feel about my kids – my sons – my boys. I’m always proud of them. I’ll start with Corey. Since he was born second, I’ll let him go first in my pride post………..

Corey is building a cnc router. He has researched the hell out of it and is a genius to build something like this. It is being put together in his basement with the fabricating being done at his workplace. Here he is in his basement beaming with pride (it runs in the family)…..

I’m equally proud of Keith. He ran his second half-marathon (he says it’s his last – he wants to focus on improving on his 5k’s). He completed the Chicago Half Marathon on September 11, 2011. It was a glorious beautiful day (especially since I was NOT running the half marathon – 13.1 miles). He crossed the finish line smiling and waving……….

Is this funny????

tmcknit — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:45:09 +0000

Is this funny? Keith seemed to think so (so did I). He was fixing my laptop and for shock value, he said “look Mom!”……..

Who is our favorite princess?????

Molly is our favorite princess. She knows she is a princess and wears it well. She went to live with Keith and Justin when Keith moved out. Keith took this picture of her – she’s a sixteen year old beauty. Her mommy abandoned her when she was two weeks old and we took her in. I’m glad we did (thanks Mark!!!).

Feast!!!

tmcknit — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:15:26 +0000

We went to Keith and Justin’s last weekend. We did a little shopping, made a delivery to St. Elizabeth’s and then just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. They made us a FEAST for lunch Sunday – thanks Keith and Justin – it was heavenly.

Corey then called and invited us to dinner. Eighty-two miles later, we arrived at their house and Danielle had made baked mostaccioli and garlic bread. It was equally as wonderful. The last pic is her mostaccioli before she baked it – enjoy……………

C’mon America……

tmcknit — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 19:54:14 +0000

C’mon America – let my son be equal.

Please read this article – it’s regarding the same things Keith and Justin are facing. My son and his partner for life, Justin, may be emigrating to Canada. They are no different than your straight children, America. My child should be equal and I’m tired of crying over something that should be a non-issue. Everybody says “can’t they just move to another state and get married?”. No. This article will tell you why. Keith is an American. Justin is from China. Both may end up in Canada. How wrong is that? Why? They harm nobody – they are great kids (ok, they’re not really kids but to us they are).

Please read this to understand what Keith and Justin have to go through to be equal.
