Blue!

Monkey!

Reagan has really been into the stuffed animals for the past few weeks – puppy, Ernie, and especially Violet and monkey. Last week, we were getting dressed and monkey got a shirt that he (she?) has been wearing ever since. On Saturday, as you can see, monkey got some shoes for a short bit.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love, Reagan

A few pics

Seriously, it really takes forever to go through pictures. Here are a few from our trip to Snowshoe, WV, but hopefully there are more on the way.

Reagan loved the snow and Tim’s gear.

Final Christmas Gift

I know it’s the end of January, but we had one last Christmas gift for Reagan that hadn’t been opened yet. Well, she saw it last week and asked to open it, so she opened some new puzzles with some serious expertise.

Reagan has some big news

She’s going to be a big sister! The newest Armstrong should be showing up sometime around mid-July.

Budding Artist

Since Reagan’s fabulous music teacher moved, I decided we needed a new winter activity for our Friday mornings. It turns out that there aren’t too many options for Fridays, so I decided on a class through Fairfax County that’s down near Mount Vernon. It’s on the early side, but it will be good to have some time on the way home to run errands if we need to and not feel like we’re rushing home for lunch and nap every week.

This past Friday was our first class and she created a picture based on Rene Magritte’s High Society.

Checking out her finished piece. (Yes, she got the smock and her sleeves rolled up. I got paint on my shirt!)

 

She sponge painted with blue and black on the background, then used oil crayons on the white figure and dot paints on the blue figure. Then, we glued it all down and added the border!
