The likeness is quite uncanny.....

Texture, this time.

It's Haircut Time!

You are less resistant to haircuts these days.  I guess you finally see that there is something to NOT waiting until you look like Larry the Stooge? :)

Perspective AND Color.

More of your Masterpieces in the Making.

 Learning about the color wheel and copying with Grids

Getting all Artsy Fartsy

We are embarking on Art in school :) You love art, especially digital art, which you have been working on for years now.

This time tho, we will be inducting you more into the world of painting, ceramics, printing and whatnot. 

Here's to hoping we have a fun and enlightening time!

Washing Dishes with Richard Osman

*post-dated entry*

One of our little traditions/rituals is washing dishes.  I would wash and you would dry and put away.

Some of the shows we enjoy watching while doing this particular chore are "Richard Osman's House of Games", "Celebrity Puzzling", "Hazardous History" with Henry Winkler, "The Price is Right Tonight" with Howie Mandel, and "Alan Carr's Picture Slam" The last one is a little sillier, but oh well.

Happy Chinese New Year!

I know I don't do enough to help you connect with the Chinese side of your heritage, but we do try to do some things.

Making Fudge Brownies

The Place where you spent your childhood

Very soon, you will be off into the big wide world.  I hope you remember this place fondly.

Prepping Jalapenos

It is Super Bowl Season, and The Young Man wanted to learn how to make some Jalapeno Poppers.  Rather than preparing everything and just letting him assemble them, I decided any cook/chef worth their salt would have to know all the steps.

But first, a moment of reflection.

And then, off we go!

More Food Figures!

This time, with Toast.

The Strange Pancake Face

 Keen eye, son.

The IceMan Cometh

How can one let it snow and not make some snowmen out of  all that beautiful fluffiness?

Happy 2026, Young Man.
