Happy Birthday MOM!!!

 

I have missed you.......

Man....where do I start?  I have been trying to figure out if I keep this blog going........hmmmmm I think I will.  Moving to a new house, new area, new school for Sarah all put me in a bit of a funk.  I am finally feeling like I am on solid ground again.  I have missed all my blogging friends.  My "little Tutu Monkey" is in 1st grade.  Every day of my life with her is better than the last.  I will be back soon.....

My first love.....

They say a little girls first love is her Dad.   I love to look at this picture (even though really poor quality) because we are sharing such a sweet moment.  I wish I knew what we were talking about. Today is my Dad's birthday.  He left this earth at the age of 54....SO YOUNG.
 I miss you .......my first love.

Bangs

"busy fingers"

While most kids are borrowing i phones to play games....... Sarah has been using her idle time with a round piece of cardboard and 7 strands of yarn.  After an afternoon at the San Diego Children's Museum last week she has been thrilled with her new craft.  An older woman stopped us at the grocery store and said "what is she doing?"....I told her making bracelets......she said it was nice to see "busy fingers" that weren't playing video games.  I have to agree......I am not anti video games but still pretty old school.

"Let's go"

Each morning I start my day with Jenny!

 I visit her blog.....dream about what color I should paint a room in our house, look at how she puts clothes together....try and copy her art projects.  Well, I finally got to meet her in person!!!  What a treat.....she is even more lovely in person!!  I hope to see more of her in 2012....lots of fun classes   to take at her studio.

  

I appreciate my friend Natalie ( and baby Em) saying "sure.....let's go"!!!   Hope to have more creative adventures with you in 2012!!
