Life... as we now know it!

Recently I was visiting our friend and neighbor, Eve. Such a sweet lady, and our babies' self-proclaimed grandneighbor! She's also an artist. I often admire the paintings and drawings she has on her walls... much of it she created herself. Right in the middle of the room was her latest work—her own version of an old Life magazine cover. This one:
I love this piece! Eve had an experience with a particular Monarch appearing in her home this winter... but that's a whole other story. Let's just say, it changed her perspective on some things. I'll stop talking about it, before I start to sound as crazy as her. (Just kiddin, Eve! haha!) Anyway, the monarch was the inspiration for her new artwork.

Last night, she invited Eric and I over for coffee. When we got there, she not only treated us to some sinfully delicious donuts, she also presented us with her latest piece of artwork. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Butterflies M&M!!


Isn't this awesome?? It even looks like them! (Well except that M-boy doesn't have quite as much hair... yet!) We cannot wait to get this on the wall in their room. :)

Holly it's beautiful. Now the real quesiton is, where are you going to hang it?

Holly said...

I've got the perfect spot picked out for it, right above the changing table. (Maybe it will help remind me how sweet they are, despite their stink!)

Dani said...

I hear ya, and that stink gets worse as they get older ...... might want to add a stickup on each side of the pic lol

Wow, how awesome! What a neat surprise! I can't wait to see pictures of the REAL babes! (Hint, hint, wink, wink!) ;-)

Any updates on court yet? I'm guessing you'll be hearing your date in the next week or so...
