I snapped this photo of you while you were watching TV. You’re holding a tissue cause you like to imitate blowing your nose since I have allergies and do it often. I love how totally engrossed you are and how cute your tiny fingers look in this photo. I just adore you so much.

Creative time is the best time

This layout was for Maya Road CHA Winter show.

Journaling Reads:
There are many things I like to do with you or watch you play. But my very favorite is definitely creative time. I love seeing you paint and draw and make your own creations. I love t see how focused you get while you create and come up with ideas. How you like color as much as I do. Maybe it’s cause I love creative time best for myself, too. But my hope is that as you grow up you will always hold on to that creative side and enjoy it.

All Nathaniel wants to be is like his big brother. All David wants to do is make silly faces so David makes silly faces an Nathaniel copies him. Then he checks jus to make sure he does it correctly and I just watch the two of you and laugh. I am so grateful for the joy and laughter you have brought into my life. You make it all so much more fun. I love you both.

My sweet boy, when you see a camera you always think of ways to be funny and silly. Even though I sometimes wish you’d give me more of those nice smiles these faces and looks you give me show so much more of your personality and they always makes me laugh so much. I love that you’re funny and sweet and quirky and that you love to make me laugh. I love you so much my boy.

I Carry Your Heart With Me

This is a minibook I made for Maya Road for CHA-Summer 2011. This canvas minibook is brand new and I adore canvas minibooks.

The journaling is the famous e. e. cummings poem:
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
