Thank You Teachers!

It has become a tradition, in our home, to make baked goods for all the staff at our primary school at the end of each school year, to thank them for all their hard work. It is a wonderful school and every member of staff cares and contributes to our children's positive school experience.

White Lion

A dear friend of mine has just celebrated her 1st wedding anniversary, and I wanted to make her a gift. She has been posting a lot of photos, of her feeding white lions, on Facebook lately, so I decided to paint a white lion for her, from one of her photographs.

Isn't he gorgeous?

Happy Anniversary Tracey and David!

First Dance

Jon went to his very first Youth dance on Friday night. He had a blast and came home with a massive grin on his face. I asked him whether he had danced with any girls, "of course!" he replied. I then had him demonstrating how he danced with them, prancing around the living room (have to give the kid credit for humouring me!)

Here he is, all ready for the dance.

And so flies by another milestone. I had a bit of a reality check on Sunday, one of my good friend's eldest son is going off on his mission in a couple of weeks, and it occurred to me, that could be us in just a few very short years! Doesn't help of course, that in my minds eye, Jon still really looks like this!

Seascape

I painted this for the love of my life, Happy Birthday hubby!
