Summer Days

My work schedule this semester is great because I get to spend the whole day with Owen. Each day is full of new skills, words, and phrases, and I'm glad I can appreciate every one of them. His newest phrase is, "There you go!" I didn't realize it until now, but that's something I say all the time, and now Owen does, too.

We've been spending time outdoors whenever we can, and I've even been getting some photos that will likely end up in my prints.

My in-laws came over for lunch on Sunday, and Christian grilled. We tidied up the house for company, and now we just need to keep it this way. I say this as I look over our living room, which is already sprinkled with toys and books, but the day is not over, and we'll put them away before bed (right?).

I've also been gearing up for a show of my gelatin monotypes at the Greenbelt Aquatic and Fitness Center. More information to come, but here's a peek at the matting/framing process. Also, check out my supercool, mix-matched teacup collection in the background.
