Fairy Queen, Dancing

This is a new painting, which recently went to a good home...I did the sketch over the summer in France. 8X10 mixed media painting on canvas.

Spring Sunshine...

Here's another gorgeous day outside in the garden, in the early spring!  It was heavenly, just like Eden...I've been dreaming of all these little motherhood moments for so long...

Bathtime Fun

Here he is, finally sitting up in the tub!  Our little man is growing up!  Next he'll be swimming laps...just kiddin'!!!

Fun in the Sun with the Fam

Finally spring was arriving and we could go outside and play in the garden!  William LOVES it outside, just like his mama and papa!  I'm glad he got our genes on that one, for sure!  Gotta get your Vitamin D while you can up here in the Pacific NW!!!!!

Love & Fun

Here we are with our little mister mister!!!  Just loving on him and having fun with him!!!

Family Walks

We looooooooooooooooove to take walks as a family.  It's one of our very fave activities.  This was a wonderful early spring walk where we discovered a brand new park that we had never been to before.  This was also around the time when William first tried going on the swings and discovered that he loved it and that it was very thrilling!  7 months later when I tried to put him on the swings, he was way into the whole separation anxiety thing and he was having none of it...can't wait until he gets back into it!!!

A Good Day

This was a great day with my little man, one year ago yesterday!   Bathtime, plums, and watching online church with Mama!  That's a great day when you're 8 months old! Love him so much!!!

First Play Date at Our House!

This was super fun!  We had some of the mamas and babies from the Providence Mama-Baby Play Group over for a playdate!  William was so cute, he loved having the other babies over to play!!!  I can't believe how tiny they all were and how big they are all getting!!!

At the Baby Play Gym

William was a late crawler, so when I took him on a playdate with a friend and her little girl, all he did was just lay there, looking at me all adorable and smiley...but he didn't move...at all!!!  LOL!!!  The doctor says his gross motor was always kinda delayed because he was so HUGE!!!  Not fat, but just way taller and bigger boned than all the other babies.  Now that he's walking, he truly towers over the other toddlers his age, so I can see that is indeed the case.  And he's not delayed anymore!  It's all evened out!  So all my little worries were for nothing!!!

Our Little Dreamer

Here's William when he woke up one morning, and then when he was asleep one night at bedtime...he wakes up sooooooooooooo happy and he is so beautiful when he sleeps...of course all mamas think that!!!

Love to Snuggle With You

I looooove to snuggle with my wee little man.  That is one of the best perks of being a mama, lots and lots of hugs and cuddles all the time!!!  Luckily William doesn't mind-too much!!!

A Week in Winter

These are some fun memories from the end of winter/beginning of Spring 2013...hanging out with good friends Sheryl and her daughter Lily, as well as good friends, the Davidson Family.  William is very social, and we are so happy for him to get to know lots and lots of people!!!
