Coming up for air

Well, hey there! I can't believe its been a month. But I just finished my last Christmas portrait for My Sweet Rose and it feels great. I've painted 18 house portraits now and I still love it. But I do feel a need to step back and take a break after cranking them out these past few weeks (which more than half of those have been painted.) My eyeballs hurt.

Things at the Davies' have been a little interesting lately. We've been to the dr's way too often and have paid so. many. co-pays. Its a little ridiculous. But I have high hopes! We have a cream for pretty much anything you can think of and we're pro's when it comes to "how close to death can a baby get before you really need medical attention". At least when it comes to dehydration and what-not. I really hope 2013 is a healthier year all around.

On a lighter note, we went on our annual "Davies Tree-Hunt" earlier this month. It was 20 minutes of awesome. Usually we have to trek around in a foot of snow and hike up the mountain and back before finding an acceptable tree. Not this time. It was two minutes of walking in when we found it, then we walked around for another 15 minutes just to make sure it was the best option. Oh and it was generally nice weather and zero snow. yeah!

We should get a different colored binky for Gray so we can tell the years apart.
