Lasers, vaccuums and elephant trunks.

Being a graphic designer is fun. Creativity and problem solving are part of my every day responsibilities. Somedays it is harder than others to find a catchy play on words, or to break up a huge chunk of text to make it a little easier for a reader to digest. When those days come, all I have to do is take a step back...Like 15 or more years back.

Kids have the most creative, imaginative and interesting ideas. Yesterday at work my boss brought his 5 year old grandson in. He warmed up pretty quick to the group and before a half hour had passed the little guy was zipping around the room with a 2 foot cardboard tube. One minute it was a laser gun, the next minute a vaccuum and the shortly after it was an elephants trunk. That kind of moment is why I adore children. The innocence, and the ability to make use of whatever junk is laying around and turning it into a far off magical place.

On another note, here are the kids holiday pictures. I hope everyone enjoys!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
