If You're Happy and You Know It


                     My little prince clapping his hands to the song "If You're Happy and You Know It."

I have been away for a while! Whew, time does fly. To sum up my absence: I was sick for a while, then got better, then I got pregnant, and was sick and in bed during my whole pregnancy. Had our son and it took time to recuperate, and I have been juggling mommy-hood, homemaking and being and artist. That is the very short version.

Truly I am blessed! My husband and I have always wanted to have a child together. We have a beautiful daughter from a previous marriage and we are so thankful for her. We had hoped to give her a brother or sister to grow up with. We had no idea that it would take us 19 years of marriage, before we would have a baby. When our son was born, his sister was 20 and about to turn 21. Waiting so long was not the way we planned it...but God has a better plan. My son Levi is my joy every day! I find it challenging at times to juggle it all, but I know that with God all things are possible.

As for my book...it took a back seat again. The good news is I am almost finished with the illustrations. My partner in illustrating did his job and I am adding the final touches. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with this project. (Deep breath, big sigh)

Please come back and join me on my journey. My hope is to keep this blog current.
