The new year has taken off fast for me. Already well into February, there have been some changes, some ups and some downs but overall there have been plenty of good times, good times worth writing about.
To name just a few...
We (Mom, my sister Nan and I) went to visit my sister, Lauren and her husband Jered where they live in Georgia. Not to mention my two adorable little nieces, Ela and Piper to whom they belong. We stayed a week and hung out at the house, at the park and at Jered's office. I brought my school along and did as much as I could while at the same time playing with a hyper two year old!
During that week we hiked Allatoona Pass, a favorite place to go with the family and be surrounded by nature and history. I've included some pictures of it below.
The Battle of Allatoona Pass, was fought
October 5, 1864, in Bartow County, Georgia.
This is what it looked like at that time
compared to how it looks now.
This month our sew & so club met again and we made these: fabric flowers! The process is pretty neat, we cut out our flower shapes then burn the edges, holding them over the flame of a candle.
Though Jack(on the far left) is not apart of the club we let him be apart of the picture :)
Art classes have started with my sister Claire!
In this picture, we are doing a little exercise where we look at the object we are drawing without looking down at our paper. You can see how bad I am at that.
We had a great time!
No, this is not one my artworks actually but my one and only Valentine from Ian! Ian is a seven year old I watch with my sister Nan on Thursdays.
It's supposed to be me holding a flower in one hand, a machete in the other.

Breakfast in bed on my Birthday!
The 15th of February, my birthday, Nan and mom had to do some more shopping and I had a make-up lesson with my piano teacher, Mrs. Cox. So they dropped me off at piano and Gabe picked me up. There were ballons, presents and a big card in his truck waiting for me. It was a great surprise! He took me to Whole Foods and we got a couple green smoothies (he was willing to try one!) then we walked around the bog gardens until it was time to go home. Upon arriving home I found my grandparents there and my sister Mary and her fiance Andrew! We had a good night of just family :)

Also, another exciting and long awaited moment of this month is Nan having just gotten her braces off!!!
She looks beautiful and so old!

Lastly, I've been working on these cards of my photography. I'm selling them online to raise money for a mission trip I will be taking in June to Jamaica!
