Almost a month late. It was a good night. Although everyone in our group was dog tired, so it wasn’t a loud or long night. The next night is almost on us and I’m getting excited about it. I really enjoy just sketching like that. I wish I would get out some nights, grab a beer and just draw.
Dr. Sketchy’s
I did not do as well as I had hoped I would that night, but that’s why we keep going back.
1 min. warm up sketches

10 min. sketches.

10 min finish sketches. These are what we ended the night with.

This gorgeous pile of play-doh is our soon to be newest addition to the family.
We found out earlier today that we are having our second little girl and everything is going smooth.
She is healthy and right on track for where she should be.
Maelee will be meeting her new sister May 1st, or sometime before if Amy’s tummy feels like it doesn’t want to wait that long.
Here is another look.

The new Firefox is totally screwing with the format of this layout. So I’m sorry for the way this looks.
With any luck I will fix it soon and things will be back to normal.

Click the image for the video. I don’t know what it is with Youtube videos, but I just can’t get the to embed without them screwing up my whole layout. Enjoy the video though.

Maelee is picking up words by the day. Which means Mom and Dad have to watch what they are saying. We’ve been caught at least once (dad probably more) with here repeating what we’ve said.
Really fun at times.
Couple more images for you.

I will try to post more by the end of the week, but we have a lot going on.
Have a good one.

Sorry for the lack of posting.
Monday had the cat waking Amy and I up at 3 or 4 in the morning. = bad sleep.
Tuesday had Amy getting really sick at around 9 at night. It seemed to stop around 6 in the morning. It was not nice to her and set her back the whole week. = no sleep for anyone.
Wednesday had 4 of our designers being let go with a total of 12 people in our building. It was not easy to deal with for most people in the room, and I wish the 4 of them the best.
I think most of them will do well. Now we just focus on where to go and what to do now.
= downer day.
Thursday Maelee got what Amy had on Tuesday. Same thing. Same time Same problems. = not much sleep for anyone.
Friday wasn’t horrible. Just getting things ready for the weekend. Maelee had moved on to other forms of being sick and was not in the best of moods.
The cat woke us again at 3 and Amy had to lock him in the basement so we could sleep = a 2 out of 5 for a day, with 5 being good.
Saturday was just more of the Friday. Maelee being sick. Plans falling through and nothing really happening.
Sunday was with my parents. They were great with Maelee, but I really couldn’t calm down and was almost antsy. Not really sure why. I have too much on my mind I think.
I have had the worst heart burn. It’s been bad since Wednesday. Really painful. Haven’t eaten much, and what I do eat would have given John Candy heart burn. No mystery on why I’ve had it. I need to eat better. I think what happened at work has had some to do with it as well. I can’t calm my thoughts. Nothing bad. Just don’t have focus. I just want to do a ton of things.
Get together with friends.
Work on my portraits.
Go sit some where in public and sketch.
Read, play with my daughter, Spend time with the wife.
Get out by myself. I need a break. A vacation.
Mountains, Gandalf, I want to see the mountains again!
I will try to have something for you in this new and much better week.
The weather will be better and the week will be productive. I am looking forward to getting a lot done.
Have a good one.

Taken during bowling last friday.
Good time by all.
Just working on projects. Big things at work and big things at home.
I hope to have some more sketch book pages this week, but I’ve been doing sketching for work outside of work and that has been taking up more of my time than I would like.
Hope to have something soon.
Have a good one.
