Bowler hat

This is Abby at my grandma's 70th birthday party. She has quite an attachment to this hat, for whatever reason.



Mmm, so cute.

Huzzah for art

Hey, this is a shameless plug for Jesse's work. He has his latest art on a blog at mywhiteshadowart.blogspot.com. So I think you should check it out and give him comments on his work. Tell him what you think. Really. I invite all to even if you don't know him. Here's an example:


I love this alien.

P.S. I'm not a huge fan of marshmallows, but I added some with my strawberries and vanilla ice cream tonight and surprisingly it added a very pleasant texture. Interesting.

Dear Sarah,

Here is my dancing baby in her tutu and wings. They were gifts from Grandma for Valentine's Day and they are her favorites! Just thought you'd get a kick out of her. Love you!





P.S. Jesse didn't get the Pixar internship. But we're going to have a rockin' summer anyway!

Prayers for Jesse

Hey family and friends!
Jesse officially applied to an internship at Pixar for Summer 2009. Crazy! The faculty told the students the application wasn't due until March 1, and then two days ago they wrote an email saying, "Surprise! It's due by February 11 at midnight!" Not so much fun for us. If Jesse is selected for an interview, they will be conducting them on February 18 at the Wilk. So, this is where I ask everyone to pray for Jesse! Just pray that everything will work out as it's supposed to and that Jesse will do well in his interview. We also found out that only ONE student from the program gets to go on this intership. Other internships at Pixar take more students, but they're for more advanced students. We're way excited and we're really hoping it happens! If we do get it, it will be from June to August. Huzzah! So again, pray for us. Love you!

Ms. Potato Head

As that title states: Ms. Potato Head! Abby insists on wearing the potato head glasses. I think they're quite lovely on her, don't you think? I just thought I'd share the pics because they crack me up. Goodness, I love my baby. P.S. For anyone who cares to know.. our life is wonderful. I'm still a full-time mom and Jesse no longer lives with us. He has moved out. I believe he still loves me, but he couldn't resist the beautiful animation labs. So, he's into the animation labs with nothing but the clothes on his back and his backpack containing all of the essentials: laptop, digital painting tablet, sketchbook, pencils, etc. Please do not take that last statement literally. ;) Haha, sometimes it feels that way though. He comes home for two hours a day to have dinner and play with Abby and then heads back to the labs to do his homework. Such is the student life! And for fun: Jesse is applying to an internship to Pixar for this summer. Pray for us that we can get it! Love you all!









I wish this girl would consent to wear bows. Oh Meghan, I still need to respond to your email!

P.S.S. Does anyone know a website that will print your blogs?
