Bumper sticker for my car

Locked in my own perspective...

Once I got past my self-pity trip, I have to admit that yes she was darn cute, my pretty Sophie-bee, all autumn incarnation!

Literary tragedy

This tragedy is seconded only by the time baby Tevan took several bites out of "Women Who Run With the Wolves"--not only where there teeth marks but quite a few of the pages pulped together, so there are parts of the book that are just no longer readable. *sad sigh*

All Done Bugs

*Note to self: regularly check the dollhouse to see what Sophie has stashed away.

We Got Lucky

Family photo time

Hey, it's December, aka: family photo time. Takes some organizational skills. Good thing Marcelo wants that job...

Oh, no. Wait, wait, wait. We can't use this for the Christmas card. One more time, guys, and smile this time, dang it!

Aw! That's better. Thanks guys!

Sophie's Mural

I almost did document it, but I was on the warpath and couldn't stop for the camera. Sophie contributed actual art for this comic, however. Not wall art, but some well supervised, old fashioned crayon and paper art that she then allowed me to scan.

Help me to accept the things that I cannot change...

Fence Climbing...

You bring up my childhood, or any subject relative within five degrees and my dad will trot out his collection of horror stories. I was apparently a hellion and the cause of the premature aging of at least five relatives. When I comment on my own children's falls, bruises or random acts of chaos, he rolls his eyes and says something about karma. I asked him recently what he'd done to karmicly deserve to raise a wild child like me and the subject got changed suddenly.

"Africa" Song

Not a comic, really--just an acknowledgment of a passing event. We often find ourselves listening to Shakira when Celao checks out the noticias on TV...and we find ourselves humming along...and then dancing. Tevan has even started requesting the "Africa" song.

Celao and Nina chibis

In honor of my 9th wedding anniversary, I made chibi magnetic paper dolls (what else could you expect of me these days, seriously?). The first two are of me and Celao from 1994 when we first met. We are represented in our super cool school uniforms and our even more super cool street clothes. We had a wedding that was kick-butt-put-together in less than 24 hours, and given that, we didn't look too shaby. And last, obviously, we are in our present, parenting costumes, which we wear all the time now.

Celao, te amo! Gracias para la familia que tenemos ahora. Espero muchos anos mas contigo y nuestros cueridos hijos!--9
