Working on a birthday timeline for Helen. It's become a tradition that each girl gets one as her first birthday invitation. @hollychollon you know I first started doing these timelines because of one that you did!

I was just having fun with the paint and making circles and decorating them, and making dots, and I didn't even know it would turn out so beautiful." I love her little mind, and I wish my creative process was more like hers. What a great lesson in exploring and enjoying art and design without the pressure of an end result! #mixedmediamonday

I love when creatives get together to foster collaboration and sharing rather than competition. My spirit was revived and my mind was challenged at @thesecretsoutconference . Not to mention that we all feasted on this deliciousness from @feastandforest and @jonesvalleyteachingfarm !

Charlotte is bound and determined to teach Farris the ABCs using the "alphabet scroll" that she created. Farris is more interested in her floor puzzle. #mixedmediamonday #sisters

I guess we should work on non-art sometimes, too. Right? #mixedmediamonday goes academic with some vellum and a letter sheet.

Quick trip to the old stomping grounds with @lukejpowell to see the Vespers, and got to talk to them after. Thanks for a great show!

Time for a fitting! If there were such a thing as a hat that makes a person love her baby even more, then this hat would be it. #hellohelen

Helen woke up this morning and told me she wanted to start planning her first birthday party. I asked her what's taken her so long! So off we went! #hellohelen

I've been serious, literally serious, about my art from day 1. Just look at this #mixedmediamonday from 25 years ago and you'll see the amount of focus I devote to my craft. Dad was always such a good sport. With the way Charlotte's going, I can see Luke's future quite clearly. @lukejpowell

Happy anniversary to my love! In May 2002, it hit me like a lightning bolt that I had always liked you, but suddenly I loved you. Even though you ignored my hand on the armrest in the movie theater 13 years ago, and pretended to watch Spider-Man, you made up for it with that first date of sharing breadsticks at Fazoli's and painting your senior class president parking space. I knew from that point that this was totally right. It's ok that you didn't hold my hand that day, because you asked for my hand 4 years later. I love you!

Thank you, Lord, for my girls, and thank you that I get to send their hineys to preschool.

Usually it's hard to capture the coyness of the Farris of them all.
