We have some wonderful friends here in India. Two of them are Makaela (10 years old) and Samantha (13). They each have a blog, that they update way more than I do...and they include pictures & stories of Benjamin & Rene & I too. including a trip we took to the strawberry fields a couple weeks ago. here are the links, so you can check out what we are up too. You may need to select old posts. Enjoy! And a big Thank You to the girls! :) http://frombraziltoindia.blogspot.in/ http://unordinarylife-sam.blogspot.in/

Are you wondering what I am doing instead of blogging?

Well, I picked up a paintbrush for the first time last month...and I am having a hard time putting it down.  You see, my friend Autumn & I went to our first painting class. 

After that class, we decided that we couldn't wait a week between lessons, so we decided to paint things in between classes.  Here are my creations.
