3rd Anniversary Photo

1st anniversary (2013)

3rd anniversary (2015)

Each anniversary since Jason and I have gotten married we have taken a photo to see how we change each year. Considering it has only been three years we still look pretty much the same but I am looking forward to seeing the difference in us in 10 years and 20 years from now. Our anniversary was in September so I am a bit late in sharing this but that's ok. There is one for each year and then I added the one with our boy in it as well because he is a big part of this year! We will have to take one each year of just the two of us and one of our little family as it grows. The first two are in the front yard of our apartment in Antigonish and the last one from this year is at the beach by our home here in Muizenberg. 

Happy Friday!

24 Week Baby Update

I have been taking the exact same picture every month since I was 12 weeks in the same spot with the same black tank top. They almost all look exactly the same. Every week is way to much to remember but every 4 weeks is a lot easier. It really makes me notice how much I am growing.

I am actually 25 weeks today so I am a little late in sharing these. I now have a legitimate bump and am obviously pregnant. It's not only there at night after I have eaten a lot of food but is big even in the morning. This boy kicks all the time now and they are not just little flutters. I feel him everywhere and he especially loves to give a good kick when Jason talks to him.

I am feeling more and more pregnant and beginning to get lots of the common uncomfortable symptoms and aches and pains. Everything is still going well though and we are healthy and happy. My running has decreased significantly but I am still doing it some times and walking the other days. It has been so warm in Muizenberg this week we have even gotten out to the beach. I feel I need to get this boy some sun before we stick him in the Canadian winter. I don't think I am quite ready for it to be cold all the time.

Still not really any cravings. If it is true that they will like what you eat during pregnancy then this guy is going to love chai lattes (obviously!), spicy curry, yogurt, tea, lemons, breakfast food, and a lot of other things like chocolate. Just the usual staple foods in our house.

That's about it. Thanks for all the encouragement and keep praying for a healthy pregnancy. We are loving all of it!

Art Commissions

I have been doing on a little extra artwork on the side lately. I love it! This particular ship was done for a friends nephew and I filled it with every word or verse God brought to mind as it took shape. I barely took any pictures of the process but here are a couple I took between my camera and phone. It is done on canvas paper, size A3, which is 11.7 x 16.5 inches. 

I would actually love to be doing more of these so email if you would like a commission done for you or someone you know. I can do them bigger or smaller and on/with different materials. 

Use the contact page to email me and we can see what we can do, work out a price and design, etc. 

Scroll through my instagram to see some of the other ones I have done recently. There is a lion, some hearts, a brain, flowers and more. God always gives a shape and He always has words to fill it.
