Inspired to paint.......

This morning E started his day reading Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne on iPAD and he is at it again right now. iBooks is such a neat feature on the pad. I am just now discovering apps on the pad and hope to find more good stuff!

Then he caught sight of an open page on my laptop and it showed this. So he decided he was going to pick up his last canvas (before we get more) and make one of his very own.

This is the final result and he is giving it to dad for his office wall. :-)



Little M at home with Montessori

Here's our 16mo resident sweetheart working with her knobbed cylinders.

Then she gets up from her work area and grabs a craft item from her bro's stash and hides in a corner to manipulate/investigate them. Hey! That's learning too, right? :-)

A new shirt for E

Yep! I was at it again and this time I painted him a dinosaur tee! Boy was he excited! That made my day.... :-) Going to whip up some for M next.

Getting Crafty again..........

I have recently been trying to find some time to satisfy my incurable desire to be crafty and decided upon handpainting t-shirts for my lil ones. I've also managed to put together hairclips for lil princess. Hopefully, I'll be able to find more time as time progresses and continue to refine my art skills! :-)

Where oh where have I been?

Some pics of E reading - an activity he loves doing as soon as he opens his eyes in the morning as seen here or at any time of day....yes, he is a voracious reader! Yay!!

Eeeep!! It's great to revisit my old blog again. I miss you. Been away for way too long...................Baby M is now a very talkative toddler parroting every word we say around here. Master E is also as talkative if not more and doing wonderful academically. We are looking forward to Spring here and hopefully I'll be able to resume documenting our little lives at home once again.

Growing up

She is growing up and growing up.......can't believe how we got from there to here. Cherishing every day I spend with my sweet girl. :-)

It's been too long....

Our sweet miss turned 1 in September! She's grown way too fast so much so I can hardly recall all the mini details of her newborn self. She talks her own gibberish and also some words that I cherish so so much. Loves the outdoors and exploring more than any toy can satisfy her. Not one to be left out, she dives right into any activity she pleases, with anyone she pleases. Such a wonderful blossoming being and how blessed we are to be able to be in her midst to witness and accompany her through it all. Love, love, love!!
