Happy eighth anniversary, Lynette! Wow eight years, hard to imagine. Thanks for marrying me, I love you. This is our wedding invitation I did. It came with a seashell which you used to RSVP. All part of the Monterey bay Aquarium theme where we got married.

Troll Thursday!

Today 's trolls were drawn with Amara's help. She sat on my knee and told me what to draw, they all had to be happy. They look so...happy. Amara really wanted one with a hand on his head at the top right, but what she got wasn't exactly what she was looking for I think. Then she got to color them. "See daddy, almost in the lines!"
Thanks for your help getting our troll on today, Amara!

(Pink) Troll Thursday!

The real trolls in Sacramento have slashed education spending and have eaten just about all of the flesh off of the bare bones school budgets across CA. I am doing my part to protest the direction the State has chosen to go. For more information check out Pink Friday and wear pink tomorrow.
Get your pink on.

Amara's family portrait. There's mommy in an orange dress on the left with Daddy on the right.
It should be easy to tell who the kids are, but you would have to know that Amara is the one jumping (second from left) and Kai is laughing. The clouds are shown in blue.
