one year...

it is hard to believe that a whole year has passed since this little girl came into the world! happy birthday, silla!

1x1x1 show @ Homewood Studios Gallery

I made this piece of artwork & my mommy framed it for my one month show at the Homewood Studios Gallery in our neighborhood. They have a special place in the gallery for the 1work x 1kid x 1month show and I was that 1kid for the month of March. I am on their website as you can see. My dad snapped a couple quick shots of the artwork and my 'artist statement' through the window one day when the Gallery was closed.

spelling, cousins & medicated chicken

i am obsessed with spelling words these days....sounding out what i am 'reading' and figuring out how to spell words that i'm thinking about. my parents keep reminding me that i will be going to kindergarten this fall and with every new word i spell or word i recognize written somewhere, i remind my parents that since i know how to read, i don't need to go to school!

we took a quick (24 hour) trip to duluth this weekend and i got to play with my cousins - who i haven't seen since christmas! (how can that be?!?) these were some random phone-shots that my mom took....of us sitting on the chair out on the rocks at grandma & grandpa's house ... and of me giving lussi's toy chicken it's medicine. (just got over ear infections that were causing diminished hearing.....i liked the medicine-clearly!)

'new' piano

my mom's cousin emily was giving away her piano and somehow the timing worked out perfectly and it is now i our living room! i'm excited about the possibilities. we'll get it tuned-up in the coming weeks and who knows what the future will hold after that!
