boys and blueberry buckle.


oh how i've missed my few minutes of 'me' time here at tundra gypsy. life has been full. we are experiencing much newness and change in our lives right now. perhaps the biggest news is... i am incubating again! this time around we are expecting TWIN BOYS! a huge suprise for us and we are so thrilled and overwhelmed. we moved to the city for the durations of the pregnancy.... so we are settling into a rhythm with new schools and routines.  i finally have some time to say hello. hopefully posts won't be so sparse as these boys grow and i find it harder to move. i've got several projects on my needles i'll be happy to show you too. for now... enjoy some coffee or tea with me and try this delicious blueberry buckle!

OHMYGOSH... When you want boys, you want BOYS! hahaha. Congratulations to all of you! Mostly maybe Chris, cause he's surrounded by girls, and now he'll have some boys to hang out with!

:) Blessings and Prayers for a comfortable and easy pregnancy.
