Patrick's Tree
Our very good friends Jeff & Asha MacDonald are moving to Ohio on Thursday. We're going to really miss them and the many fun evenings we've spent together eating, playing games & laughing. They are both fantastic artists (they did Patrick's bedroom ceiling) and I feel very fortunate to own one of Asha's paintings which she gave me for Christmas a few years ago. So, I can't tell you how excited I am that Asha GAVE us another very special painting of hers that we call "Patrick's Tree". This painting is of a fertility tree in India that people tie a string around to bring them fertility. Jeff & Asha tied a string around the tree for us when Donny & I were trying to conceive and Asha painted the tree some time afterwards. It is a beautiful painting - the oranges are SO vibrant and fantastic (this picture does not do it justice). It is hard to let them go, but we know this is a great professional opportunity for Jeff, so we're excited for them. Good luck Jeff, Asha & new baby Iyla - we'll miss you!

That is so incredible - they are such nice people, I'm sure you will miss them both a ton. The painting is gorgeous, and I love the sentimental value of it, so touching. Patrick is getting so big! Give him squeezes from Aunt Amy! Love you guys!
