My dad made this nativity scene, and months before I travelled to Austria to say Good-Bye to him I got new figurines for it and painted them (not the angel, she is played by one of Leilani’s Schleich Fairies as you can see by the un-angelic neckline and gloves)
Leilani took a photo of our Christmas plants…
…and of Christmas Rudy…
…of her Christmas stuffed animals that she gets to play with just once a year
…of random decorations…
…and of my office (in the background I am working on her school’s website and probably talking on the phone judging by my hand).
She still tends to photograph her fleeting art…
Leilani is playing nicely with her friend. Even though I like her and her sister, that could have been our last visit. She decided that the one Barbie they were playing with was too ugly and shot her with a pretend gun. Leilani was almost as upset as I was. I told her Nanny, who said she’d talk to the mom… I wish I had called the mom myself… but Leilani reacts really good to these things (she has 2 no guns signs now, actually one is a no-blasters sign after Andy pointed out that Stitch has blasters…)
Recently at school I was the art teacher… we made coffee filter flowers. Lots of fun!
Other photos we took early this winter.
It’s a monster. No its scare-cat!
Leilani made this purse from a kit she got for her birthday, and was so proud of it!
What could I do with these flowers?
I know!
Can I be a model when I grow up? I already know how to pose!
