New scale baby and stitching weekend

We are under a blizzard warning right now and boy has it been blowing today. Of course, my two boys have enjoyed it immensly! They've built a snow fort out of the debris left behind by the snow plow. They have a tunnel going through it and everything. They are excitedly telling me of all the other things they want to do to it. I've tried to warn them that the next time the snow plow comes through, the front of the fort may not quite be as sculpted as they have it now.
Last weekend, Josh convinced me that Savannah needed a friend. PetCo had new hatchling geckos for sale so he wanted one. After a bit of research, we concluded that if we got a new friend for Savannah that we'd have to keep them separate until it got a bit bigger. We picked up this little critter and decided to call her Georgia. We don't know that it is a girl yet since it is too young to tell. Josh reserves the right to change the name if necessary, LOL! I'm hoping that she will retain some of her beautiful coloring once she gets older. Of course, my kitties, Mr. Black and Gracie are quite fascinated by her. Of course, the crickets hoping around during feeding time are quite captivating as well.


Last weekend, I went down to Lansing and had a stitch in with my DSIL. I got quite a bit done on the palm tree although I haven't gotten any new photos yet. Boy, to have the luxury of doing that every weekend would be nice! Today would have been a good day to hunker down inside and stitch. Instead, I was helping my son with a project for school. He has to build a significant western hemisphere structure. He chose San Simeon (Hearst castle). You would not believe all of the detail. He's been working on this a little over a month and a half. It's due next week and there is still so many windows and doors to put on it. I think it is looking great though. I'll post a picture once he gets it done.
I just found out that my brother is in the hospital again. He had a work accident and got a spiral fracture of his leg. He ended up with two metal plates in his leg and a prognosis of about 6 months of rehab. Last night he was rushed to ER because there is some sort of infection in the leg. (cellulitis) They are keeping him and I don't see him being released until at least Monday as the wound care specialist does not work on weekends. He is not a happy camper at the moment and is full of anxiety of what is going to happen.
Well, time to get the young 'uns ready for bed. Stay warm!
