We had a fabulous weekend at home.  I wish we could have stayed longer and I wish I would have felt better on Sunday.  But I did take a nap and I hope I feel better on Monday morning. 

Happy Monday!

Snow…And I know I need to update my blog banner…

IMG_3734_edit

I love snow and we definitely haven’t had enough of it this year!

I love a nice heavy, wet snow.  So beautiful to wake up to!

My bedroom was seriously bright on Friday morning!  It was really weird.  I slept in until 6:45 since the kids had a 2 hour delay.  I had to call-in to a meeting at 8:00 am, but then I took from 9-10 off to make sure they were getting up and getting ready and then ran into work after I dropped them off.  Love having some flexibility even when work is really swamped! 

I am also aware that I seriously need to update my blog banner.  And I will.  Soon. Just haven’t quite had the time yet.  I’ll get there. Open-mouthed smile

Happy Sunday!

To sketch this.  Just playing around.  I am having a great time playing with sketching and learning about shading and laying down color using Donna Downey’s Panpastel 202 class as well as enjoying being in the middle of Alisa Burke’s Sketchbook Delight Part 2.  Both are awesome classes and I am learning a TON. 

Happy Thursday!

This match didn’t go as well, but Bryan always heads up to the stands to get some pointers from his Dad to find out what he should have done differently.  Love that. 

Happy Valentine’s Day again Open-mouthed smile.  As you can see, our Tuesday was a busy one Open-mouthed smile.
