Now, I love Texas...but sometimes, I just can't stand how big it is. Sometimes, I feel oceans & mountains away from loved ones. Don't believe me...google Alpine, Texas to Denton, Texas or vice versa & you'll see why Kristel & I don't get to see each other near enough.
Oh man, Kristel & I daydream about the day we can live closer together. This means working together more, hanging, shopping, all the wonderful things that best friends & sisters love to do! AND for me this also means...I get to spend more time with precious Parker, Kristel's spunky 3 year old. I'm so honored to be called "Aunt Lur-wah" by Parker. One of my favorite reasons to call Kristel is because most of the time the other side of the line is picked up with a "Hey Lur-wah watcha doin sugar booger" from Parker, it makes me smile from ear to ear every time. If Parker doesn't make it to the phone before his mother, I usually asks for at least a minute to speak to him & that's all I need. Within one minute, Parker can catch me up with what he has done in the last 24hrs & what he is doing at that very moment, & what he plans on doing with the rest of his time!
Well, last week I hit gold when I called Kristel. Parker was just about to do a little painting when I called Kristel & heard " Hey Lur-wah, i'm paintin." I asked him what he was paintin' & he said "oh, i'm paintin' spid-uh-man, i'm gonna paint spid-uh-man for you Lur-wah!!!" It just made my day!
Now, I would have been fine just knowing that the world's cutest Picasso painted a picture thinking about me, but it gets even better! Oh yes, last week my roommate brings me a mail package from Kristel & Parker, I rip it open & there it is...the painting of "spid-uh-man" topped off with some transformers stickers! It made my heart sing & made me feel like the world's richest art owner!
It might not be Picasso, but in my heart it so much better. It's legit, it's authentic, it's one of a kind, it's something I can't wait to show Parker when he gets older! It's worth a million and one in my book. :) I can't wait to find a cute frame & perfect spot for this one of a kind "Spid-uh-man" meets Transformers piece!
& if receiving the masterpiece in the mail wasn't plenty good, Kristel sent me these darling pictures of Parker getting his paint on...
Cutest little Picasso I ever did see...
Cutest little Picasso I ever did see...
I was on speaker phone when he was telling Kristel & I what he was painting me. He kept telling me "see Lur-wah, see right here, i'm gonna paint you spid-uh-man!" Just precious!!
The Luckiest Art Owner & One of a Kind Parker Masterpiece!!!
****edit**** I came across this picture of Parker & I when he was a chunky monkey & just had to add it to this post...gosh how time flies!
May you all have that little buddy that melts your heart & makes you feel like a million and one... just when they say your name!!
XOXO,
Aunt Lur-wah Loo :)

Parker is such a cutie.
