lately

Our friends commissioned me to do a painting for them, I worked from a photo they gave me. I was a little worried I would be bored with the scene since its one I have seen so many times in my life, in real life and in galleries etc. but I really ended up having fun with it and am so thankful for the practice.

 We had some gorgeous days in the Spring, just perfect temperatures. Now that we are in the full swing of summer, its quite hot and humid but we also have had tons of thunderstorms and overcast days....

 I have been obsessed with yogurt and fruit lately, it was all I craved for a while. I really don't know when to announce this and it never feels like the right time for some reason, but if you haven't heard, we are expecting a baby in December! We find out the sex soon, which will be really fun.  Compared to my pregnancy with Isla, this one has been so nice and easy so maybe its a boy?! I am just starting to show a little so maybe I will start up some belly shots this time around starting at 16 weeks in a few days.

 Its been fun to hear new songs from the Beach Boys' new album, they always make me feel happy!

 I love Ikea so much, this chicken breast was really yummy and only $1.99.

 Since its the summer thing to do in New England, we went berry picking at this gorgeous farm. We were enjoying the yummy berries as we picked them. Im excited to pick blueberries soon.

Tonight the Paci Fairy is coming. I am really hoping she handles it OK. She loves them so much. : / wish us luck...
