paintings for our new nephew

A new nephew means nursery crafts! My sister, who is a graphic designer, made these cute owl & fox graphics for me to paint for Levi's nursery. Here are some pictures of my painting process & the finished products. I think they turned out so cute!

Levi Jarrett was born yesterday around noon. Since my sister lives in Houston, we won't get to see him for a while, so pictures will have to tide us over until we do!

What a cutie! We've always had so much fun with our nephews, so we're excited to add another to the mix!

another day at the farmer's market

Last Saturday my friend Cara was in town for a wedding, so we got several friends together & went to the farmer's market. Here's my good friend Amy, who is getting married in August!

The weather in Fayetteville today is perfect! Steve and I went to the Farmer's Market this morning, and we're spending the afternoon at Arsaga's reading and enjoying the weather.

dog hotel

This past week was spring break here in Fayetteville. My parents & aunt, uncle, & cousins all went on vacation, and Steve went on a mission trip to Boulder, CO. I stayed at my parents' house while they were gone and I kept their dog and my aunt & uncle's dog, Bailey. Bailey and Nike had a lot of fun together all week, and they kept me company at work. I took over 200 pictures of them, so here are a few of the best!
