surprise date…

 Life has been very full, filling his last few weekends and days off, so Kit took a surprise comp day last Wednesday and we had so much fun… We hiked Peter’s Canyon, went to Costco, then grabbed burgers.

It was a really sweet surprise day together. I have really missed time together!

I {finally} found it...

 I love the English countryside. I have been looking for a landscape that I could have in our home and while on our trip, I found one (actually 3) to bring home!  We were in Camden Market and a little vintage stall had a stack of paintings from local artists.  He gave me three for 5 pounds! 

I had been looking for so long that I was not about to have this thing get smashed, so while on planes, trains, and automobiles, I held that thing close:

My family called it "the baby" because I was always carrying it in transit...

Finally home I picked the one of three that was my favorite!

(It was hard to get a photo with the curve...)

It was worth the wait to have a piece of art that I love that has such a sweet story and memory for me that goes with it!

Right up her alley!

So last week, we signed our little artist up for art classes at Palette Station.  She could not be more excited for all the things that she will learn!

 We met up with our friend and had the sweetest class on sketching and shading...

 She had the hardest time stopping long enough for me to take a photo of her!

This Wednesday, we met up with our friends and practiced watercolor:

She can't wait to go and for all the things that she is going to learn!  This could not be more up my girl's alley!
