Sometimes sitting in on story time can lead to sad revelations. See you on the other side, brother.

I just realized something; that dude's head is a boombox and he didn't come here for a little peace and quiet.

Evolution of an artist

This morning, after a bowl of oatmeal and honey, baby jane presented us with this representation of her and the good doctor picking apples at the orchard. Apparently she woke up this morning and decided she was moving past her abstract period to a season of realistic portraiture. Good for you, kiddo.

Remember to remember

My granddad was born on the 29th of february. He passed away a little over a month before baby jane came along. I spoke to my gramma on the phone this evening and we shared memories of the birthday boy. She recalled his last birthday four years ago. Gramma was picking him up from a senior care facility he'd been staying at briefly. The folks there had pulled out all the stops to make a big deal about his birthday, seeing as it only came around every four years. As they were loading up the car with all of granddad's belongings, they lost hold of the majestic balloon that served as a proclamation of the day's celebration. They watched that balloon disappear into the stratosphere. 

A few months later, we said goodbye to granddad.

Before ending our conversation over the phone, gramma remembered aloud how much she enjoyed watching granddad interact with little children when they'd be out shopping for groceries. She said that he was particularly comforting toward those who appeared upset or distressed. I wish he could have been around to spend time with baby jane and the good doctor. I have a feeling they would have enjoyed some lovely moments together. 

Until another time when heaven and earth become one...

New buds

February provided us another opportunity to print some tees for the best buddies chapter at north central high school. Thanks to our sister and new mama, elisa for providing us with this opportunity two years in a row. Now, be dazzled by the following peek inside the printing process.

A word from our sponsor

We've recently been raiding the archives to find gems such as this one from long long ago. Nobody wears a necktie with a tee shirt or pitches deadly kid toys quite like this shyster. Check out those pearly whites.
