DC History

Last week we made it to the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Air and Space Museum, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It was so fun to be with friends and family, especially while Beth was here for the week.

Working

So sometimes John needs to hire an illustrator for projects that he is working on, and sometimes that illustrator ends up being me. This old time milk man and his cart is for a line of gourmet cheese packaging along with a mountain range I did recently, and a while back I did a project that got published in a magazine. I usually end up doing wood cut illustrations or hand drawn type. I'm not really all that good but I am fast and cheap and that is usually just what John is looking for.

Summer Fun

Hair Cut

There is nothing better than waking up to a kiss and an "I love you" from this freshly trimmed boy.

Fathers

I found some great vintage maps at the downtown market of the states we have lived in so far. Some of them are from the late 1800's. We gave them to John for father's day and hope to hang them up in a new house sometime soon.

As a father, John has far exceeded my expectations and continues to impress me all the time. He cares for us, his little family, so much and works so hard to keep us well and happy. I love John as a husband and father, we are so blessed.

A house of peace

My favorite day of the whole summer so far. A well needed trip to the temple. It was so peaceful, so relaxing, and so fulfilling. Such beautiful architecture, artwork, and people (not us, the people inside, who were so nice and willing to serve).

Wes and a Mess

This is the third box of baby cereal that I have found dumped all over the floor in the last few weeks. Kind of an expensive activity.
