Lilac Window

here is another painting of my house. the last for a while I think. Its starting to look more like a watercolour. I am not sure if that means I am becoming more skilled or less experimental. Oh well. I had this sort of zen when I was painting it, that came from the crazy amount of control and concentration one must have with such a reserved piece. Subtle colour mixing gives me chills.

Emery had a bad fall and split his face- requiring four stitches. Another trip to the hospital. We all feel sort of shell shocked. I am resigned to do simple, pleasing things today like holding my babies tight.

There is not a lot in the world that could make me happier than this smiling face right now.

We had a big scare on the weekend. Marcel contracted some random horrible bug that was so vicious his body went into shock. We are so happy and grateful for the doctors and nurses at the Alberta Children’s Hospital who literally saved his life.

Needless to say its been rough around here. We are coping. Marcel will have to be in the hospital for another week, but he’s in good spirits and enjoying the movies and munchies.

hugs.
