Welcome Home Camel

Just got back from a lovely family dinner at my mom's (nachos and chili - yum!) to welcome my little sister back from her recent overseas deployment. Since she was gone for Christmas, I gave her her yearly drawing today. This year she requested a camel.

So I've been doing something a little different with these posts - creating them the day before then posting at midnight so they're relevant for the entire day. This works well for things that you can plan for, like holidays. Then there are days like today.

Today (actually now it's yesterday, Monday) my wife and I spent most of the day either asleep or in the bathroom after we both came down with a nasty little stomach bug. I had the added excitement of almost throwing up at my daughter's orthodontist appointment in the afternoon! Now that it's night, I'm feeling somewhat better and have (so far) been able to keep down a little food and water. In fact, I felt so much better that I was able to take a few minutes and sketch up this little doodle which is, of course, just a happy little picture and is in no way relevant to the way I've been feeling today. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed.

It's so splashy!

Stargazing

And the drawing for my younger daughter, who always wants to go stargazing (usually right around the time when I tell her to start getting ready for bed).

Minecraft

Here's the one for my Minecraft-loving older daughter.

Getting Pretty

It's the day after Christmas! That means I can finally post the pictures I gave away as presents this year (without ruining the surprise).  This one was for my niece, who likes snails.

Happy Birthday, Bett!

My body's old

My brain is leaky

Back is stiff

And joints are creaky

And though I find it

Sad to say

I'm more like Munley

Every day

But there's one thing

That helps me through

I know you're getting

Older, too!
