I have promised a blog to many family members for a while now and I have decided it is time to keep my promise. I hope that you all enjoy this little window into our lives. I will try my very best to update this often with pictures and a little about our day....

Hopefully those of you who live in Birmingham made it to the ONB Magic City Art Connection this past weekend. This is one of my favorite weekends of the year and the weather could not have been any more perfect. We spent both Saturday and Sunday wandering around the park looking at art and Hannah enjoyed the children's art area where she made some masterpieces of her very own.



Lily snoozed the day away...



On Sunday we ran into Melissa, Thomas and Hudson Franklin. Thomas and Hannah had lots of fun making a mobile and also painting with sticks.




We purchased a small piece by Heinrich Toh, a really great artist based in Kansas City. I really like his large pieces like this one...



...a girl can dream right? You can find out more about this artist here.

Inspired by our art filled weekend I entertained Hannah on Monday with an art project of our own. I found a cute idea for making caterpillars here and so while Lily napped we created...



What fun!!
