Finding my Creativity Again

I've so missed being creative.  Not that I'm overly artistically inclined, like my mom, but I can hold my own.  I've mostly missed the creative process, the relaxation.  Anyone with young children know there is nothing relaxing when trying to do an art project with young children (although it's getting a little better).  I recently did a "Ladies Night Painting" event with a friend and so enjoyed it!  It made me miss my pottery days, hand building and glazing.  It, and this, is a thousand times more therapeutic and spirit lifting than a pedicure or retail therapy, so I'll be swapping out my "me" time for "creative me" time whenever possible in the future. 

Christmas 2014 and NYE 2015!

We had such a wonderful Christmas and New Years!  Mom, Dad, Paul and Jordan all drove up from down South and we had room for everyone in our new house.  It was just so comfortable and nice to have all the family around.  Couldn't have asked for it to be any nicer.

NYE - almost made it to midnight.

Made it to midnight no problem.

Not even close to making it to midnight!

Auggie the Doggie

We promised the kids once they were all out of diapers we would get a new dog.  Loretta remembers and still talks about Luc fondly.  Well, we have a little Luc lookalike, but Auggie (named after the lead character in the book Wonder) is a Golden Doodle and will grow to be much bigger than Luc was.  We love him already.  He's a sweet and loving boy.

Our First Time Hosting Thanskgiving

Our home is made for entertaining.  We had a wonderful day.  Much to be thankful for.
