Love is like a Painting...

For those of you who may not know I LOVE to paint. Unfortunately I don't get to often, but when I do its such a relaxing peaceful thing for me. I really enjoy canvas painting best, but getting to paint and decorate a room definately comes up close behind. So I have 3 blank canvas's laying around and had the strong urge to paint something, but couldn't think of anything. Then we were watching Tinkerbell with Scarlette, which is also the theme for her room and suddenly I realized that is what I wanted to do with them. I figured as she grows she will always have something her mommy painted just for her (until she becomes to cool for that), or if we move they can easily go with us and be the start of decoration for her new room. So here are the 3 paintings I did, sadly I haven't actually got them put up yet or else I would have just put a picture of them up in her room : )

Side note: the quote is from Shakespear's "A Midsummer's Night Dream" said by Titania, the Queen of all fairies, it was the first Shakespear play I ever read, and probably my favorite.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

So Scarlette officially turned 1...a month ago. : ) I know I have said before how much she amazes me. But the other day I was watching her and realized in one year she has brought joy and a smile to my face DAILY. I have awed over her accomplishments, almost cried at how overwhelmed I feel with how much of a blessing she is. Then it really hit me...its only been ONE year, and she is only our 1st child. For parents who have older children and more than 1, do they continue to do this to you daily(or almost daily, I am sure being able to talk back doesn't help their cause haha)? Seriously though, and to think I can't wait to have more and be awed by what they can do. It's funny, I don't know that my heart has anymore room between Scarlette and the happiness Jacob brings me, yet I can't wait to find out. Now all I need to do is get pregnant, haha.
