Luke's first REAL artwork!


We just attended an open house at Luke's school and we were so excited by what we saw. Over this past school year he has really grown and changed. It seems like our sweet little boy is growing up so fast. Lately he's really been improving in the area of art. He no longer scribbles, he actually tries to stay in the lines...an amazing feat. He has even branched in the area of color...he used to only use black, green and occasionally red. He now uses all the colors, very exciting. Well, at the open house he showed us his classroom, his plant, the pets (silk worms, butterflies and tadpoles), and on his desk were samples of his work from the year. We were so pleased to see this picture he painted. We loved it so much that we're talking about framing it. I can't explain what a proud parent moment it was...it's one of those keepsakes that mothers cherish forever. I remember my mom used to keep her favorite art projects in her under ware drawer for safe keeping. I guess it's my turn to find a secret place where such precious memories won't get ruined!

Aaaaahhhh! That really is a sweet watercolor Millie! I wonder if He was inspired to paint it like this because this is how he sees his own home. Bright, cheery, and loving. You are such a great Mom and example.

OK Cat lovers of the world explain this....we're going on vacation and wanted to board our cat, but they wouldn't take her unles...
