I have been painting watercolor portraits lately. And trying to perfect using my Polaroid Land Camera. Next will be teaching myself emulsions. But for now, the watercolors are soothing. 

If you would like one, let me know. My prices are between $25.00 and $50.00, depending on the size, per portrait. Here are some examples. 

Summer is here. My girls and I all slept in this morning. And I had leftover heavy cream in the fridge which is making my coffee decadent!

Morning morning!

I feel like my grip on staying positive, and waiting for things to finally pay off for us, is slipping.
 Its all starting to look pretty glum. 
Some days, I am convinced that something amazing is about to happen. 
Well, at least I had been. 
Not so much anymore. 
I am tired.
It hasn't gotten any easier for us, no matter how hard we try.

Spring finally arrived.

 It is amazingly beautiful this year.

One girl turned 8, and my little bee turned 4.

Sleepover party. They were actually really cute to watch.

The days are moving so fast.

Take time to smell the blossoms.

I know I am.

So many things to photograph this time of year. I find myself leaving the house and being halfway to my destination, only wanting to turn around, and go home for my camera.

I have been asked to write the text of an already illustrated children's book. I am nervous about it. It is a little outside of my comfort zone. But, and it's a big but, I think I am up to the task. 

David left this morning, for a week long work related trip. I feel kind of sad. I will be alone with the girls for a week. Hopefully, I will be graceful, and patient this week. 

Hopefully.
