Week 27: July 3-July 9, 2011
While flipping through Family Fun one evening, I saw this cute wreath inspired by patriotic bunting. The magazine had used solid colored card stock. I found this paper at Michael’s (Die Cuts with a View Nantucket stack) Once I got it all together, I decided it was too “white” – double-sided paper would’ve been better for this project. So, I grabbed the acrylics and mixed them together (had to add a little lavender to the blue) and painted the inside of the red and blue cones. It’s not perfect but I am pleased with how it turned out. It’s a fun splash of red, white and blue on our front door for those patriotic holidays.
Week 28: July 10-16, 2011
Elizabeth went to Camp Grammie for two weeks from late June to early July. We went over to get her and spend a few days loving on Grammie. Of course we went to the park where the kids played Escargot and had a ton of fun. Such a great park!! We love visiting over there!
Week 29: July 17-23, 2011
Harrison can write almost his whole name! He asked me to make the Rs and he wrote everything else. I love it!!! Smart little guy.
Week 30: July 24-30, 2011
Look at how blurry Bitsy’s hand is…she’s furiously coloring her math!! I had my camera sitting on the table while we were doing school. Nin got up and walked around to help Bits by reading the problems on her work sheet to her. I didn’t want to make it obvious that I was taking a picture and disrupt this moment, so I didn’t pick-up the camera off the table – I ended up loving the angle of this shot. I love how close together they are, how I can tell by Bitsy’s mouth that she’s really concentrating (love that!), how I can see by the tilt of Nin’s head that she wants to make sure Annie is “getting it right” – but not in a bossy way. Lots that I love about this picture.
Week 31: July 31 – August 6, 2011
On July 31, our Worship Pastor announced that he was leaving our church (you can read my post about that here). I told his wife, “I cannot let you leave without a significant ‘good-bye’. I just can’t. Your family is too important to mine.” So, we were able to spend a little bit of time with them one evening. This picture cracks me up…we now have more children at home than they do (their two oldest are married)…who’d have ever thought that?! I’m not sure why Brad put all the kids on the sofa rather than adults on the sofa, kids on the floor…but, it’s one of those battles I really didn’t feel like fighting.
