Surprise! We made it down to SC for fourth of July.
Hurray for girl cousins!! We all loved playing with Eliza



Every time I look at this, I laugh. I love the expression on Miri's face and her pose. This picture reminds me of portraits of an old english gentlemen standing next to his prize race horse. She's got the sneer-smile down. (Actually she's kind of choking on chalk which she insisted on eating. I'd come to take it away and she'd start drawing furiously. I'd back away and she'd return to chewing it. Sneaky girl.)

Miriam kept trying to get someone to give her a turn on the big kid swing but no one would give her a chance...

...til she had a little chat with Grandpa. See her making her case to him.


Lo and behold, this eleven month old can swing on a grown up swing. I think she looks so pleased with herself. Hurray for Grandpa. Without him around, nobody would have let her prove what she can do.

your art and sketches inspire me to draw. I'm not as good as you, but I did a sketch I've been thinking of for a while of me and my Silas. Thanks for your inspiration. Love, Kalia
