Waiting For Her
It’s always exciting when my wife and daughter come home!
Realities of Raincouver
In Vancouver it rains … a lot … and then some.
Rain gear is essential.
Vancouver’s #1 rule; always have an umbrella.
And if you have a 3 year old — don’t forget the rubber boots!
Jade’s Home and Workspace
Our family almost always paints or draws at our kitchen table.
We’ve thought long and hard about how to best integrate our family’s art space and material.
Firstly, we wanted to incorporate Jade’s art into the work space.
We also wanted our art resources / materials to be easily accessible.
For a final touch, we envisioned Jade’s paintings in our living room.
Last month, we went to Ikea and purchased some Expedit bookshelves.
For us, it’s a perfect space solution.
Today, I put up Jade’s art in our living / working area (pics below).
Sledding Full Speed Ahead !!!
Jade’s starting to love winter activities.
She’s especially loving her sled lately !!!
A New Year … A New Start
Last year’s resolution: Draw & document images for my daughter Jade.
I’m really proud I accomplished last year’s vision.
I wasn’t sure if my project would ever get off the ground.
I had a backlog of images & it took a long to time to photograph everything.
I’m glad WordPress has the technology and helped me reach my goal.
It’s been such a joy creating this project and I hope to continue for some time.
Thanks to my wife, all my friends, and my extended family for their love & support.
Happy New Year to everyone.
May you all have peace, love and prosperity in 2013.
The Excitement of Christmas Morning
Jade was feeling so happy Christmas morning!!!
Our festive home was decorated with our drawings and paintings.
Unfortunately, I was feeling the chills from on oncoming flu (blah).
But most importantly, Jade opened her presents !!!
Thank you Jade for making our Christmas so special.
Love,
Mom and Dad :)
Jade & Her Reindeer Games
Jade’s mom made these great reindeer antlers for Jade.
I can’t believe she made it in crochet!
Jade was really excited to wear it to her StrongStart Christmas Party.
Wiggling Ice Skaters
Jade painted this at StrongStart before the holidays.
I’m the red skater and Jade is in gold.
I think we’re with the Canadian Olympic team (haha).
Jade really enjoyed skating with me earlier this month.
We’ll have to go again soon.
Noises of Christmas Past
Bing! Bang! Click! Clang!
Christmas in 1974. It started as the funnest, loudest Christmas ever. I really wanted that guitar. And I also received an amazing Fisher Price family camper.
Later that day, my dad opened up the camper. He took out the cool clicking noise because it was driving him CRAZY.
When I later met my wife, I couldn’t believe she had the SAME camper … and it still made that SAME clicking noise.
Lucky!
Almost 40 years later, my daughter Jade LOVES playing with the camper.
CLICK! click click CLICK! click click CLICK !!!
Hmmm … Where’s that screwdriver?
Drawing with Icing + Candy
I think our family has a new Christmas tradition!
Jade and I hammered on the icing and candy. Yum!!!
Our drawings have never tasted sooooo good !!!
