Crayon Valens

Lisbeth and I made some crayon "valens" (Lis-ism) in my studio yesterday. Then Lis decided to make "a cut" from the colorful waxed paper, too...

She calls this cut "The Wedding One" and, "The Lips...." :^D

I LOVE LISBETH.

Valen's Day

New Giant Heart mandala!

A Valen dinner party, with Red Velvet Cake...

...and a Valen Smoothie for breakfast, with a new little bear from Daddy.

And a brand new bear from Mom. So soft, and the colors of Milkweed.

(Someone else loves Lisbeth's new bear...)

Lisbeth celebrated Valen's Day (Lis-ism) by having dinner with us and sleeping over last night. Lis loves Valen's - she routinely cuts hearts into her snowflake/mandalas. This past week has been a good one for Lis. Her staff reported that she has been mostly content and that there have been no big seizures. We are currently increasing her Vimpat, slowly, and this is keeping the big seizures at bay, but Lisbeth is still experiencing the eyes getting stuck, a milder seizure activity that we hope will subside as we step up the Vimpat. She also started taking Cymbalta this week, and we think that this is a good part of the reason for her improved disposition. I can always tell when Lis is feeling more like her old self because her snowflake production increases! She brought over a whole pile of the new cuts, including the giant heart snowflake pictured at the top of this post. Yay.

February = Love
