Lately...

Kent was working on his drawing assignment for college. He's in drawing 101, and we got him all the art supplies the teacher listed including an art box for the supplies. So much fun!

It's kinda torture for Jade cause she loves to draw, too, and we didn't get her signed up in time for this class (turns out it wouldn't have worked for our schedules anyway). While I was at work Kent was working on his drawing assignment- drawing a chair: still life- and knowing it was torture for Jade I asked her to take a couple of pictures of him drawing. I love my kids drawing and being creative. I think they both have great talent- and I'm not just saying that cause I'm their mom. Jade has been drawing for years and has the skills to prove it. Kent has drawn off and on as I've prodded him thru out the years and now he's drawing alot more on his own and discovering an untapped talent! So he's pretty excited about his drawing class... just wish Jade could be in there with him.

Isn't he cute? He's got his lap top playing his play list of favorite music... I know he's 16, tall and scruffy faced, but he's still my baby and I just want to squeeze him!

That little red and black box is his art box with some fun stuff in it... if you're into art that is. When we got home that day after getting his stuff Jade was going thru it like it was a treasure chest of fun... poor baby... it is torture for her!And just yesterday our old neighbor Kate came over for a visit. She was Jade's friend growing up on Roanoke. And she's the same girl that lived with us for about a year a few years ago. Here they are back in the day. We've known Kate for about 9-10 years. Aren't they adorable???Kate had a little baby girl named Sadie about 5 months ago. Here's Kate and Jade now and little baby Sadie... both girls are still so cute... or I guess I should say pretty! Oh man, Jade's little pumpkin cheeks are so cute then and now just want to squeeze them... nope.. there's no hope for me people! I'm just madly in love with those kids... poor kids lol!Here's Kate again with baby Sadie. When we all were laughing she's try to laugh a little bit too which just made us laugh more.That's all for now. Good night. Thanks all for the positive words after my last blog... that was a tough day. Read ahead- if you dare- about my cryin' about work lol. Later
