Holiday Highlights

Happy New Year Everyone!
We had a great holiday this year. We worked hard and then took a nice long vacation to enjoy Jonah's new toys, games and building sets; we spent time reflecting and creating by ourselves; and we had a great time socializing with friends (our families are far away).
Just to highlight a few exciting things from our holidays...

We are very proud of and excited for Jonah, our six-year-old son, who sold two pieces of his art this holiday season - one painting and one wall clock. Congratulations, Jonah! Here they are...

1) "Numbers 1" - acrylic on board 2) "Numbers 1" close-up 3) "Rainbow of Green" wall clock

Justin, as you may know, is also a prolific musician, creating songs out of thin air in his home studio. One of my favorites - "Keys to the Kingdom" - will debut in a movie from actor/writer/director Michael Knowles called ONE NIGHT. You can view a trailer for the movie here: http://www.onenightthemovie.org/

Here's Justin at work/play in his music studio...



Lastly, one of my favorite highlights was a trip to OMSI to see the Star Wars exhibit. I was thrilled and amazed to be in the same room with all of those Star Wars relics. Star Wars is the epic of my childhood and, as Jonah has come to love it as well (obsession may be a proper word here), the impact has grown even larger. Anyway, here are a few shots of our day spent within the fantasy of George Lucas's masterpiece!

We would like to take this opportunity to be grateful for the many blessings in our lives, for the work/art that helps us grow and thrive, for each other, and for our health. We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2007!

Until next time...
