My new Artist!

The secretary desk that we bought at IKEA, has worked wonderfully for us. Arianna loves to seat with any of us to "type" and she manages to do things that we are not even sure how she did it!

My usual nature photography... This is a younger squirrel that manages to climb around my kitchen window and eats the suede that I put for the birds. I put enough that I don't mind that he/she eats some. The other day I saw a squirrel that had an ear cut in half due to a bad bite so I feel sorry for them even though in the summer they tried to eat my green tomatoes!

Arianna likes letters and we bought a set of magnet letter awhile back, she knows "o" "m" "h" and "p"... Then, I am trying to find a way for her to start scribbling in a place where it does not matter if she goes outside the line (the crayons are washable anyway) so I tried the fridge which worked for about 3 minutes until she wanted a different page. I guess I can tape more than the 2 pages that I did, but we might just buy her an easel soon....

Arianna posing with her masterpiece... well, then she destroyed it too. Next time, I will put it away faster...
She likes to seat in the sofa now, and takes her "bigger alphabet". It is a magnet set as well, but they are too big and they fall from the fridge so she plays with them on the sofa.

I finished a bear that I will be sending to Miya (a new baby from Dan and Beaulah). I know she is too little for the bear, but it was done with lots of love...

And I just love her smile in this picture!
