Family Christmas "Photo" (D)

I was getting ready to blog about Christmas and then I remembered we didn't have a family photo from the day so I took this sketch I did and painted it and voila.  Close enough.

Sketch version for fun:

Birthday Girl (D)

Happy 1st birthday, Smoochface.

Dogpile On Mommy (D)

Lest anyone suppose that these two creatures don't also maul their mommy on the regular, whether she's 100% or not...

Long Weekend (D)

This parenting thing is a little tougher when you're not quite feeling 100%.

(I also won't say how many tries it took to get this sketch semi-decent and worth showing to the world.)

(It was more than a couple.)

From Babies To Mommy 2015 (D)

A very happy birthday to my darling wife and the beloved mother of these two:

Happy birthday, J!  We love you!

Sunday Sketches -- Poppy Pertinent (D)

Recently we happily welcomed a new addition to our family.  She's sweet and snuggly and has quite  a shock of dark hair.  And, of course, now that she's finally here, she's just begging to be drawn, so I present her first portrait by her daddy:

And now, keeping in tradition set when The Speck came along, here's her first unofficial portrait, beloved by nurses one and all.

We love you, little one!  You already are and I'm sure you will continue to be the subject of many arts in the future.
