Gulf of Mexico

I made this photo of Francis last year on our summer vacation to the Panhandle in Florida. I never imagined it might be the last image like this I ever make. Francis will never have the same childhood memories I have of spending weeks at a time swimming in the Gulf of [...]

“It’s okay if everyday is not the same way” or “my head will explode” haven’t settled on a title yet

Saturday was one of those days that I look forward to and dread simultaneously. All month I knew I had wrapped myself in a pinch with three important events all happening at the same time. And Francis’ Birthday party at the local Fire Station #5, being the most important, was accidentally scheduled during a major [...]

My Favorite Holiday

In these difficult days in Haiti I am so grateful that America can finally provide some help in the world. After the last disasters under the Bush regime I had begun to loose hope. Today it is easier than ever to contribute to a good cause (text 90999 and type Haiti or ask your local [...]

Another CD for the Car

I’ve decided to create a weekly review of Francis’ reaction to music we listen to on his ride to school. This all began the week after Beckett was born and Chris had to drive Francis to school. Every morning he played Pink Floyd Echoes , a best of album, to mellow him out and because [...]

Kids and Medications

Beckett’s god–mother sent me a link to one of these Frontline stories about the economy and after I watched I noticed there were a few other stories I should watch. So when I saw the Medicated Child I couldn’t resist. The program is not new, it’s two years old, so I’m kind of late on [...]

The Duelling Batmen

Dueling Batmen

Funny how every four year old boy turns into a super hero at Halloween and girl turns into a princess. Lisa summed it up saying “who drank the princess Kool-Aid”.

Silhouette

Francis Sihouette

I just started another project for the nursery. Once it’s finished the room will be complete for the most part. Before I dive into that though I want to revisit the silhouette of Francis I finished a few months ago but never followed up on.
Not sure it looks as good as the mock-up, [...]

Two Is Like Eleven

Before we had a second child,my friend would tell me “one is like none and two is like ten”. So once we went for it (after three and a half years of having one) I began preparing for twenty, because Francis alone has the energy of ten kids. Fortunately, now I can safely say Francis [...]

Still Love Francy’s Room

Even though it no longer looks like this but more like a train wreck.

From two to nine, the progression.

It’s hard to believe that less than five years ago there was just me and Jessica. Dating and not dating. Then engaged and not engaged. Then married and not married. Then Pregnant! and pregnant. Now not too long after the two of us went from four to six to seven, eight and nine. The last [...]
