basket ball and little time

So at our house its all about the b-ball, you know March Madness and all that, Its also fast approaching the end to my semester.  I have been staying up late trying to work on my own art while  trying to pump out thumb nails with themes like playful and bold, all surrounded by the din of screaming fans. The end is near with a summer of images and knitting ahead.  

so proud

So I just have to sing the praises for my amazing 11 old.  She fell in love with Ballet and has been working very hard at dance class.  She really wanted to try out for the summer intensive.  5 weeks seven hours a day so we went to the audition two weeks ago she danced her heart out and we got the letter today.  She got in.  You have to understand that she has many challenges in her daily life.  she reads at a second grade level on a good day spelling and writing are also really hard for her.  but when she dances none of that matters,when she dances you can see how everything that is hard falls away.  Regardless how I feel about ballet as a dance form  I see how much she benefits from it.  I am so grateful that she has found something that she loves and that she excels at.  I am one proud Mother!

Cold Sun

 The sky was bright and blue today.  I spent the early afternoon with family that I don't hang out with much, It was nice to hang out with them.  I did miss my sister, this is one of the first holidays that she wasn't at my mothers with us.  She really does make it more fun and A few people mentioned her absents.  I know that she reads this everyday, not guilt please!  My Mom always come through with the good Easter Chocolate.  I don't celibate Easter but my Mom is a practicing Catholic, Its REALLY important to her at we spend time on the Holidays.  For years I tried to figure out how not to go.  Now as I get older I have decided this is something that I am willing, no happy to do for her. 

Then I came home and baked the weekly bread, and worked on some images.  All and all its been a good day.  

Peace and Happy Spring!
