2010...

I'm trying this again.  I won't probably kill myself to post something often though.

Currently, I'm 5 months pregnant and due the end of May.  My little girl will be just over two.  Seems time went by so quickly.  I can barely remember Elizabeth when she was just born.  She was so small and now my husband and I will start over with another baby just as small.

I turn thirty next month and I'm not sure what I'll do to celebrate.  Maybe bowling or a weekend in Chicago.  Who knows, I think I'd be better off staying home since no matter what I do right now I feel physically uncomfortable and when I don't sleep I'm pretty crabby these days.

Reflections

After the everyday household chores of dishes, laundry, cleaning and the monthly responsibilities of paying bills on time, budgeting our lives, and balancing the checkbook; I forget to reflect on what keeps me going. My little girl, family, career, and my art. This photo puts it into perspective for me. That's Elizabeth and she won't be staying little forever. So I grab the camera.

The Quick Post

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in taking care of my daughter's needs and my career, I forget to do something for myself. This blog is my outlet. I love taking photos and find it faster than trying to sit down and draw something out. Since I'm not very patient, results need to be fast. This is a rocking horse that was handed down to my daughter that I saw the evening sun hit just right.

The Hugging Cousins

For "Chair"ty

I didn't really come up with the name. But I volunteered to paint an Adirondack chair to be auctioned for a good local cause. This is one of maybe 16 chairs to be auctioned to raise money in support of a company who employs mentally disabled workers.

These are details and the one pictures shows my signature and gives credit to my daughter for helping me out. Even though she was more interested in eating the paint, I was able to get eight of her hand prints. My theme was kids and art. Think back to Kindergarten.
