summer reading

Well I have definitely checked out for awhile.

Sorry...

Summer has officially begun and I have final lessons to share, 

but for now you have to settle for my summer reading list.

I tend to go through seasons of no-reading and then savoring everything in sight.

Yep that's where I am at right now;

soaking in all sorts of genre.

And new paintings have started and

etsy prints too.

more to follow soon...

I promise :)

Happy Father's Day!

Ahh Father's Day...

Here is my clan many years ago.

We are now all grown up (sometimes)

and that saluting kid now has a daughter of his own.

*See the second photo.

And that funny little bundle of squintness (not a word-I checked)

is about to start grad school.

Sigh.

Aren't they cute? 

I stole this photo from them and messed with it a bit

as they live on the other side of the country.

Hence I can't take my own photos of Sophie changing every day.

 So I think that gives me the right to do that.

Ya it does.

And here is my dad reading to me.

How sweet is this photo I just dug out and scanned?

Happy Father's Day!
