Ali sent me this photo yesterday with the title of this post as caption:
What do you think?
I finished that little cardigan in September 2016 for a 4-month-old Ginny and, well, kudos to a 5-year-old Malina for even managing to get it on! haha.
I remember that being a super-fun knit — Elwood, by Jenny Wiebe (Rav) — using a Sweet Georgia "Party of Five" mini-skeins set, along with some of my own hand-dyed yarn. And the ladybug buttons! So cute.
Also, I love that Malina's still wearing those adorable unicorn sunglasses (and it was sunny yesterday!).
And Davy's legs are getting so looooong and skinny!

I have an exciting update to one of the items from my last post…
Excited about… all the girls being home again this summer! Kate will be arriving in just a month-and-a-half and will be here until the middle of July not be returning to Scotland!
A move back to Wisconsin has been bubbling for a while and recently solidified a bit more as "the plan." A recent change in her employment landscape contributed to her doing it in spring rather than fall — not to mention that she is now working for US-based companies (also still smarting from the income tax situation). Her friend Claire will be visiting in a couple of weeks and will be bringing an additional large suitcase to schlep some stuff back here. She'll be staying in the guest room for a bit while she gets on her feet (and a car). I don't know how many alerts she has set on the various real estate websites — enough that I get a potential house or three shared with me every week — so that's the eventual plan. As you might imagine, now I'm SUPER EXCITED!!

The kids are getting so big! I think I started reading your blog a little before Davy was born? And what great news about getting Kate back near-by! Two of my three are far away, but not Australia far, and it is always so great to have them back for a visit.
Good luck to her as she makes her way back stateside!
Malina’s fashion sense is so fun and cool! and Kate’s moving back is fabulous news … I know you’re over the moon … think about ALL that overlap this summer (and ongoing with Ali and her kiddos)!
Malina looks great in that sweater and Kate’s news is thrilling! I enjoy seeing her photos of Scotland but it will be even better having her back here. I will begin holding all the good real estate thoughts and wishes for her!
Malina is the height of fashion! Very excited that you’ll soon have Kate much closer to home (though I’m sure you didn’t mind having an excuse to visit Scotland!).
Malina is absolutely adorable! But how is Davey getting so tall??? Wow!
But the KATE NEWS! Fantastic! I am so thrilled for you! What fun to have her heading home to stay! May she find a place to land soon! XO
What great news about Kate’s return!!! I’m so excited for you — and I’m sending Kate all the good re-settlement juju. And . . . Davy’s legs!!! Oh my goodness. He is looking like such a Big Boy these days. And Malina. Oh, she is a darling. (And Baby Ginny . . . ) Time certainly does pass quickly . . . when you’re watching children grow up. XOXO
That sweater is right in style as a crop top! And I’m so happy for you about Kate’s news! It’s wonderful when they spread their wings but it’s incredible when they decide to come back and be closer to the nest.
