With Abraham napping and big sister, Abby, camping with grandparents, I offered to take out the acrylic paints for Sarah and I to do some painting.
Remembering some old calenders that had been given to us, I took one out with some simple and abstract paintings.
I told her she certainly didn't need to copy any of the pictures, but perhaps she would like to look through it for inspiration.
As she worked, I sat down with her and painted some birch branch pieces to make into simple children's necklaces.
It was so nice to enjoy these precious moments of one on one time that are rare in our home.
Warm wishes for a beautiful day with your families,
Tonya
