Yesterday Lindsey brought her painting home for the art class she is taking on Tuesdays. I tried to light it so you could see the textures in the painting. I’m happy that my family has a love for the arts. There are so many ways for us to show our creativity and I’m thankful to be able to give my family the opportunity to explore different avenues to show their creative side.

A friend of mine it writing an eBook and we were talking about covers. His book has a Western theme, so I decided to play around with a Western looking pistol.

Kathryn starting playing the flute in the band. I’m glad that my family loves music. This just adds to the number of musical instruments in our home. We now have a piano, guitar, electric bass, and a flute. There was a drum set until Brandon borrowed it to play in a jazz band.

Today in my birthday! It has been a great day, I had coffee with my awesome wife this morning at Copper Coin Coffee followed by lunch this afternoon at The Flying Biscuit.

For my birthday I received a couple of hats to wear while running. It’s funny, I never thought of myself as a runner. I use the RunKeeper app to keep track of my time and miles. Yesterday I got an email telling me that I had ran 500 miles using RunKeeper. I like the saying on the hat to the right “You don’t have to go fast, you just have to go.” That could be because I’m not a very fast runner.

We have chipmunks and lizards that love to run around in the backyard. Here Lacy is either looking for or has found one of these little critters. I don’t worry about her eating them because she is all about the chase, must her greyhound side.
