A chilly, rainy, gray/grey day – perfect for pencil sketching out the widow.
Cate is four months old now. The time really is going by quickly and she is already so much different than when she was born. She has been trying to roll over for the past two months and she finally managed to do it last week. I am thankful for her every day!
When I was pregnant, I threw out most of my clothes because they were really old (read: frumpy) and I wanted to update everything. So I’ve been slowly undertaking the task of buying new things.

This is the first year that I can remember that I haven’t been stressed out over Christmas. I decided not to gift anyone artwork this year, and my family decided on a one present per person policy which really simplifies shopping. Now that my shopping is all done and I don’t feel “pressurized,” I actually […]
