We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming to Bring You...

Just to give you all an update... I have been thinking more about art and pain. I got good ideas from commenters on my last blog post (see Art Night and Pain: Part 1) and I am refining my own thoughts to put into the second-part blog post. In the meantime, life has been busy. This is the kind of topic that I like to mull over for a while before expressing myself. Hence, the long delay. Also, I am thinking that I should include more non-serious posts, since thinking things over for a month before you post doesn't lead to an interesting blog.

So, quickly, highlights of my life currently include:

1) Alexandra is ten months old. She is crawling and happy and she lights up my life. She loves to read books, hug her baby dolls, pull everything out of her toy boxes and diaper bag, and play both by herself and with others. She likes smiling and waving at and charming strangers at the grocery store, church, and restaurants. While she doesn't say any words yet, she clearly understands a variety, including "Mommy," "Daddy," "Jessica," "Petey," "Grandma," "baby," "clap," "big," "eat," and "milk."

2) I got to play the piano for Easter services at our church last weekend. I love using that skill for God, and the more difficult and challenging the song the better (don't know why that is). I also love rehearsals... not because they're long or anything but I love working with others for a greater cause. Team efforts are fun.

3) My husband. He's always patient with me and stays at home for long afternoons and evenings with the baby because I want to play the piano at church. Most importantly, he shows me love and support no matter what. I've learned a lot about love from him!
