art and writing

the kids have been prolific in their art these last few months.  eli is really excited about reading and writing and has been working it into his art.  the picture below is the first time he tried to  phonetically spell something out.  “to isaac,” it says.  it was a card for one of his best buds.

he also has been making his own pokemon cards….

lyla and her first family portrait.  she’s proud of it, can you tell?

the three at the top are suns, very happy ones.  at the bottom is our family.  i’m in orange, she's the black one, eli is the brown one with orange hair and adam is the teeny tiny dark blue one…yes, the one that is half the size of me:)

this is one of my favorites, i love the heart person (it’s me!) and her flowers are beautiful.

and the last first, the first time lyla wrote her name c.l.e.a.r.l.y.  the happy person next to it is also pretty cute:) it know this stuff is not super exciting for most people.  but for a mama it’s pretty special.
