Santa, Can We Have Snow For Christmas?
As a prairie boy growing up, it’s still strange not having snow in December.
It was a dry day and we decided to spread some Christmas cheer.

The Animated GIF: The Antithesis of Mindfulness
Personally, I love rich visual imagery … It’s the way I think and communicate.
For me, the best Art has ambiguity. I like having the time and silence to appreciate and question.
But now, EVERYDAY feels like an animated gif. The average person is exposed to 3,500 advertising messages a day. We devour images, resources and ideas.
And along the way, maybe we’re debasing and dehumanizing ourselves?
“Daddy, This Is You On A Slide”
Sometimes life feels so good …
Naturally Curly Hair
I used to have a lot … now … not so much.
My wife is Asian and has long, beautiful straight hair.
The question is still out there … Will Jade keep her curls?
Jade is over 3 and she hasn’t had her hair cut yet.
My wife doesn’t want to part with those cute baby curls (photo below).
Personally, I think Jade will keep some wave.
If her hair dries naturally, the curl will come out.
Otherwise, the blow drier will flatten it out.
My wife doesn’t believe me. But then again, she never does (haha).
Star Light, Star Bright
Jade and I collaborated to paint a wizard at StrongStart.
My daughter dabbled the yellow stars.
The school has a fun dress up area with a great wizard hat.
Jade Is A True “Arteest”
Jade at her art station (our kitchen table).
Thankfully, she can become very absorbed while drawing.
Jade says they’re doing the “Move it, Move it” dance.
Autumn Walk
Jade and I draw and think about our beautiful family time yesterday …

Making Kooky Faces
A face a father could only love (haha). A funny face for Jade.
Whoops!!! … Jade replied by assembling her own creation. So much fun!!
We were inspired by the new Big Block Singsong cartoons on CBC Kids. Awesome Stuff !!!
