Joanne and I are sitting here in watercolor class. The instructor (Patrice) is taking the class through the basics, from paper to brushes to paint and palettes. Joanne is soaking it all in. I think this is going to be an amazing experience for Joanne! She is definitely going to need someone here with her for class--lots of two-handed activity. I should be able to come with her to most of her classes--they have great wi-fi so I can stay up on work while she paints and I can help out when she needs an extra hand.
So glad she's doing this!

YIPPEEEEE~!!!!!

Gently and respectfully suggesting that she go alone. This sounds like a safe place for her to work on gaining some independence. It might be great for her self-esteem to figure this out and let the instructor help create ways in which she CAN do this.

I wouldn't be one bit surprized if Joanne doesn't turn out to be a celebrated watercolor artist like Johnnie Erickon Tada! So thankful too for the contract on your home...obviously God is on the move and you are following Him! PTL for answered prayer. I follow Kristen too, on her blog and my heart goes out to her since her sister is not so close now...such changes in everyones lives. You are one blessed man Toben, your parents are awesome to do all they've done to make your move possible and be able to provide safe haven for your fam while you are in transition. Blessings to you all! "Life is worth the living..."
