Our Little Artist

James has a new passion, but it still mainly involves cars, trucks and tractors. He's been very busy this winter filling our wall with art. He loves to draw firetrucks, tractors, rainbows, trees, houses, snowmen and even Mickey Mouse's house. He'll proudly tape his art up on the wall as soon as a completes a new masterpiece. He's got quite the little gallery started in our kitchen and we love that he's so proud of his work.

James has sent grandpa home with some special tractor pictures and I'm pretty sure Grandpa was thrilled to see that James only draws blue tractors.

Hide and Seek

I do realize that some of you might be going through withdrawal after not seeing our cute kids over the past month. Yes, it has really been a month since I have posted anything. The start of a new year always seems to keep us extra busy just when we thought our lives would calm down after the holidays...

Here's a little Claranna cuteness to start this week off on a happy note (and to remind you what it might be like to have a VERY BUSY little one in the house)! The pics are pretty self-explanatory. Claranna loves to color with markers. You can see her beautiful self-expression in the first picture.

She also loves, loves, loves to hide and is getting pretty creative with her hiding spots. One morning she was right next to me as I bent down to put on my shoes in the laundry room. When I stood up two seconds later, the room was strangely quiet and still except for the swinging dryer door. Claranna was pretty proud of herself and thought she found a soft and warm place to hide and relax. We're a bit concerned by this new skill of hers and you can bet we'll now always check the washer and dryer before we turn it on!
