My little nephew met Santa, and he made sure to tug his beard just to make sure he was legit.

Merry Christmas from the Shepherds!

For the last month, I have been working on a HUGE project.  I have been completely re-doing my art room at school. Im wishing I had taken some 'before' pictures, because it was in pretty bad shape.. I believe the last time it was re-done was in the 70's.. maybe 80's.

I completely repainted the room, refinished the tables and shelves, had new flooring put in, and put up some fun new decorations.

I still need to sand all the chairs, so they are not in place yet, but here are some photos of the mostly finished project!

I cant wait to get in there and teach on Monday!

A Miracle

My nephew, Jack Alan Shepherd, was born today on June 4th, 2012 at 3:55 pm. 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 20 inches long.
He is a perfect little miracle.

"When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased." C.S. Lewis

Movies in the Backyard

Tonight I kicked off spring break with a movie in the back yard with some wonderful friends. I think we may have just started a new Friday night tradition. This spring/summer is going to be amazing.

Uh Oh..

The best part of today- a walk by the river and Iron and Wine playing in my ears.

Spring is here, and I couldnt be happier!

UPDATE

For anyone who reads this blog (there is probably only two or three of you! ha) I have an update on my show at Blackbird.

Happy Weekend,
