Cuddle

She's a daddy's girl. 100%. So when I get one of these, I milk it for all it's worth. Apparently, I will even draw about it when she's in bed. They are few and far between these days. "No, no, Mommy! Daddy do it." is what I hear most times. But occasionally,....yay!
Happy Thanksgiving.

Okay, so I'm one of those moms who think everything my daughter does is funny. I can't help it. But more importantly, everything that my husband does is funny in relation to her.

She's funny with the Kiss. Sometimes I'll catch her playing with her toys by herself singing it so sweetly. She also likes "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order, and the entire first Joy Division album,...now, how on earth could that have happened?

Sketchbook: Sleeping Babies

These are actually 2 different sketches I did on one page,...but I like how they work together: Giant cat sleeping below a tiny delicate girl. I was watching one on the video monitor and the other was right beside me. One of these days I'll have to give up that video monitor,....and it will be a very hard day for me, indeed. But then, when she's around 14 years old, I can install it again, right?

The Pizza Man has arrived

Ed and I made this video for a recent vacation with all his cousins from up north. They were having "Italian Night" and it featured a talent show for all the kids,...ranging in age from 15 down to 3 months. We were afraid we'd have to leave early, but we wanted to share our daughter's brilliance. So we decided to make this video.

I hope you enjoy it! If you notice the shaky camera work, it's because I was laughing so dang hard. But this is what happens when you have a 2-year old who will repeat anything you say. It's both a blessing and a curse,....especially when you curse. But we decided not to work "blue" for this piece.

And yes, we do give a nod to Will Ferrell and Pearl for the inspiration. If you haven't seen the classic bit, click here. (if for no other reason than to get a load of Will's hair)
