Nursery Mural

I have to show you guys pictures of the nursery mural I've been working on. It's almost done- 3 out of the 4 walls have been completed. I'm just in time because the preschool workers started decorating their rooms this past Monday. I've been trying to get this done for the past month. Probably about 20 hours. I based the pictures on a children's book that I found in a pile to be recycled. The pictures are so vibrant and bright that they had to be the subject. I just finished the curtains on Sunday night. The boys have been great in letting me get all this done without complaining of the long hours when noone is at the church to play with. I hope you all enjoy them.... Frogs in a pond and foxes under a tree. Luke told me which animals to put where. I like the bees under the tree...
The only thing not in the pictures is the bible verses which I have written on the wall...Mark 10:14-16, etc. Maybe I'll get a picture of them soon!
My favorite on this wall is the bluebird which has a bonnet on. Charlie likes the dragonflies.

I've been able to give some of the little girls painted pictures for their walls for their birthdays and have been doing family pictures with my own version of "stick people". I've got some orders for Christmas presents, too. I'm so excited about being able to make a little money for my art! I've sold 3 small pictures so far. I just wanted you guys to see my favorite hobby when I have a few minutes to myself.

Meet Jayne Grace

I would like for everyone to see our new niece, Jayne Grace Womack. She was born 2 weeks ago today. Jamie and Jay say that she is the greatest thing ever. She has a full head of black hair and huge dark blue eyes. Aunt Ha ( me) will get to meet her in person in October. Jamie is feeling good and loving being at home with Jayne Grace. Man, I love all my nieces and nephews!!! I'm so glad we are all blessed with some of God's little angels. Praise God for each one of them!!

My two fish

Yesterday we had a birthday party for Ashley from Luke's school. It was in THE FARM, a neighborhood in Carolina Forest. They have the coolest pools!! They have already built 3 pools in their neighborhood in the last 3 years! Thats how big the neighborhood is. The big pool that we were in had a mushroom water shower, fountains spewing water every way, and a progressive entrance, all in the shape of a shamrock. It was really impressive. Luke LOVES the progressive entrance. The rope behind him marks the end of the 2 foot pool. He played and played for 3 hours with his friends! Charlie was very busy playing with my friend Kelli's son Cole. I slathered them both down and they were fine....I forgot to do my own sunscreen....Ouch is the word of the day for me. I look like a cooked lobster. For the last hour, Luke played by himself in the first section and I got to sit in the chairs talking to my friends!!!!! They are both getting so independent.

At the end of the three hours, they were both so tired that they just pooped out! They slept very well last night.

Well, maybe this time.....

A little birdie told me that I needed to post some pictures of the boys. Here is a picture of a cougar who likes to be petted. If he is petted, he will stay nice. If not petted, he gets mean. The sofa is his cage. Did you know that cougars can turn flips on the sofa? Mine can. The cougar named Luke told me today that he comes from Australia and that he needs to go there as soon as possible. Here is his stalking pose. Fierce, isn't it! The cougar said that this picture would scare Pop!
Charlie staying as far away from the cougar as possible. He loves his legos. He will mix and match to get all sorts of ancient warfare arms and armor vehicles. He did not want to smile for the camera! LOL!

We went to the bowling alley yesterday with Barbara and her niece and grand nephews. Luke beat everyone!! Charlie and I really tried our best and we couldn't catch him! I want to know how a ball going 0.0000001mph can knock down 9 pins all at once. If he didn't get a strike he got a spare on almost every try. Here is the bowling stance used by Luke after he has sent the ball down the lane.
Here is my big boy goofing off...I don't get many of these shots. He gets shy as soon as the camera is out. I'm glad he has these silly moments.

Hello, I'm still here friends!

Hey guys, it's me.

I have been having a really bad time with my computer

and trying to upload pictures.

I also agree to the blog challenge.

For today, here is my contribution:

O

I do enjoy reading all the blogs

every night.

Make sure you look below for the rest of today's blog...

Here is one!!! One for Charlie

I can't believe it!! I downloaded a picture, my computer then left the internet as it has been doing lately but kept the picture first! YEAH!!!

This picture was taken as we finished putt-putt. The sign says not to touch the teeth, so we did everyting but touch them. I have so many pictures to post...Ya'll just better be warned for when my computer is back up!

Jeff, are you out there?

Dear Jeff,
I just talked with your mom and she stated that you haven't gotten my emails every night. If it's a glitch in the email, maybe we could talk over this blogsite. I still read each of them every night. The computer problems I've been having will not allow me to post any pictures of the boys. Please, if you check the blogs, please let me know. I am always praying you're safe and that we will get to hear from you. We will be going to Clinton tomorrow for PaPa Joe's funeral on Thursday, but I will be hurrying home on Friday to check the email again. I hope to hear from you soon.
Always, Heather
