JOY post 2
today's joy: tennis in the sunshine with a great friend .... little.e.beck.artist being over the top funny tonight .... little.e.beck.artist being scared and cuddly for harry potter 4 .... family dinner with 5.beck.artists and the dog stalking crumbs at our feet ....

preparation ....
it is the second day of december and i am supposed to be documenting my christmas preparation ... and yet again, i did nothing ... i went into a super cute shop and thought about buying christmas gifts ... alas, i did not ... tomorrow FOR REAL i will start ... i at least have an appointment to go pick up the christmas tree in the morning ....

serenity ...
i had multiple quality time moments with little.e.beck.artist ... just being with her today made me happy ... if i had the option of keeping her forever at this exact age and outlook, i'd have a hard time letting her grow up .... i would let her grow up, but it would definitely give me pause ....

happy shot of the day ....

this is my little one a few days ago doing her homework ... working on her core and her long division .... i went to shop for a balance ball a while back .. kind of just to price them .... but when i saw the biggest most fabulous one was orange, i had to get it ... i do believe i do more crunches and pushups because with it than i would if it weren't orange .....

see the two paintings on the far right? the top one that you see just a bit of is sold ... i'm holding it til closer to christmas ... and the bottom blue one, i'm donating to an auction .... it says "there are no miracles for those who do not have faith in them ...."
