Coming Soon for July

My mom will be moving in with us some time later this month for at least a year. We are working on planning for the big move, and making arrangements in the house to allow her her own private space.

Also, I have been planning Emy's birthday party -- this year it will be a "Tweetle Beetle Puddle Paddle Battle" with hopefully a group of girls and boys from her class that will kindly try to spray each other mercilessly with our new water cannons that are quite cool to play with actually. The treehouse is now equipped with a pulley and bucket for transferring things to/from the ground, which will be useful for filling and transferring water balloons that can then be launched off the balcony. Wish the zipline was operational, but that would probably be best to use when Kat is more responsible with her own physical safety - a day does not go buy when she does not hit her head on something.

No flash, no lights, grey day.

Eventually we will have a window on the back wall which will provide more interior light. When the sun rises, the light hits the front window.

First Commissioned Artwork

A friend of ours in California liked Em's Story Illustrations so much, she asked that Emy make her a drawing with the same characters. Before I could get finished asking Emy if she would do it, she was already at work. What's really cool about this illustration is it takes place after the end of her original story. It's almost like a missing page.

This is a Picture of a Moth.

And...no matter what clothes I put on Kat in the morning, somehow she always ends up in the same dress. She likes dresses.
