Church folk - Tablet

There are a fair number of tablet readers at church. Makes me jealous.

Metro Ride

I rode the metro yesterday. I love sleepy metro people. They stay still and don't mind you drawing them.

Mistborn - Vin

I started the book Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I'm not very far yet. Just a first couple chapters in. Here's the character Vin as she first appears. Lowly, barely surviving, paranoid, gaunt, beaten, etc. etc. It's been a rough life. I expect things are going to get a lot better for her. Any worse and she'd be dead.

Life with scarlet fever

What we thought was Fifth's Disease turned out to be scarlet fever. R was covered with bright red pox. It's been sad days filled with some happy oatmeal baths.

Baby hair

My daughter still has light fluffy goes everywhere baby hair.

Going In

We went into DC to visit the National Gallery. While waiting for the train I sketched My husband holding onto both kids.
Once we got on the train I was able to sketch my daughter looking out the window.

Happy New Year!

We entered the new year sick, tired, and grateful that we survived another 365 days.
Since my husband, both kids and I were all running fevers I took the liberty of not doing my hair today. My hair really wishes it could be in a bad eighties movie. Left alone, it always goes for that fluffy wavy flip back look.
