This Saturday I'm grateful for... rest



So, my blark isn't quite back, but my everyday spark is bigger and brighter than ever right now. I feel grateful and greatful.  Enjoy your Saturday!


This Saturday I'm grateful for...


1. Rest - taking time to be easy is so important to me.


2. Change - it shakes things up and reminds you of all the possibilities of life.


3. Space - I spent many years living in an inner-city tunnel and now I relish the joy of wide, open spaces surrounding my home.


Thank you to all the lovely blogs that link up for yummy bloggy visits each Grateful Saturday.

Bailey,

Hello my sweet little niece.
Baby Bailey.
You came into the world at 3:23pm on Monday, October 25th 2010.
Weighing Six pounds Ten ounces, Twenty inches long.
Your Daddy, Grandma, and two Aunts were in the room 
as you made your entrance. 
(And of course your Mommy!)
And we all loved you the minute we saw you.

Here I am holding you for the first time.
You were very alert and looking all around.
I'm now an Aunt times FIVE. 
And I couldn't feel any luckier.

Your big brother Hayden came to the hospital soon after with Grandpa, 
he was so proud and so excited to see his little sister "bailwee"
He held you and stared into your eyes, 
and when you started to cry he teared up himself.
you were just hungry, but he didn't like to see you sad.
You are a very lucky baby and will have all the love in the world from your family.
I can't wait till your personality shows and you become your own little person!
You're already thriving. Love you to pieces!

today

i spent some time working on a project in my studio
changing things around
while my girls made a mess spent time painting
at their easel
it was a gorgeous sunny day
& we didn't have to rush anywhere
