This is a fantastic original painting that I received for Christmas! The artist?...none other than the beautiful and talented Nancy Karl. The frame was made by her equally handsome and talented husband Fred Karl. We are honored to have their handiwork in our home! If you click on the photograph to make it bigger for viewing, you can see Pete's workshop in the painting through the window. Do you also see the indoor wood shutter that is on my office windows? AND...the vase is an actual vase in my collection. Thank you Mom and Dad Karl for such a special gift!

And this is the painting's new home!

Cute picture of Pete making coffee

And then there are these two cutie pies in their striped shirts before school. Nana Brown - thanks for mailing back Jacks favorite shirt.

G had a swimathon fundraiser yesterday. She swam 2oo laps in 2 hours, which is 5,000 yards. Last night was the best sleep she had in a long time! J and I went to go see the Chipmunks 2 yesterday - cute movie. Today we are doing J's writing assignment, and researching for G's science project due in a few days - a 3D model of an animal cell.

The carwash was FINALLY open today...D
