a father can do for his children
is to love their mother.”

For my 300th post, I couldn’t think of a better tribute and quote for my beautiful wife.
Thank you for being an amazing woman. Thank you for being so easy to love.
Thank you for our daughter Jade.
Your Little Heart
I promise to always be gentle with your little shining heart.
Happy Valentine’s Day Jade.
Love Daddy
The Enchanted Forest
The past while, I’ve been going through Jade’s old drawings.
This was her first image with trees.
It was a favourite during the summer.
Still Jumping Moons
Some cows will never change …
Another fun drawing with Jade.
She Flies in Wonder
My wife has given Jade so many forms of wings … literally and figuratively.
Lady Bug Express … Special Delivery !!!
Jade received a beautiful letter last week from a guest drawer !!!
Ziggy Short Crust is on a quest to revive the lost art of letter writing.
This is her post about Jade’s letter.

The drawings, writing and details are so beautiful!

During Christmas, we set up a pretend mail box.
Jade couldn’t believe it … A real letter for her !!!
After the letter, Jade demanded some lady bug puddle jumping!
Thank you so much Ziggy for brightening our rainy day!
Space Junk
Hurtling through space at the speed of light …
And The Cow Jumped Over The Moon
… the little Jade laughed to hear such sport …
Jade and I really love listening to nursery rhymes together.
This nonsensical ditty might be our favourite.
Remembering Those Snowy Sunsets
I grew up on the Canadian prairies and we played in the snow all day.
But, I especially loved walking outside when the sun was going down.
Sometimes, the snow-drifts would catch some amazing colours .
Doodles Inspired By The Movie “Dumbo”
Over a year ago, I saw a documentary on John Lasseter.
He’s the creative genius behind Pixar.
There was a great part where he talked about Dumbo … his favourite movie.
He loved the cartoonish feel of the old film.
And back then, Disney wasn’t scared of heavy emotion.
Walt Disney used to say, “There should be a laugh for every tear.”
Around a year ago, we rented the movie and Jade absolutely loved it.
She was 2 and a half and loved the all characters.
For the next week, I drew Dumbo inspired imagery for Jade (shown below).
Jade was even motivated to try … below is her drawing of Dumbo.
