I hope your vacation is a good one and loved your thoughts on conflicting emotions and parenthood. Please send Knox my highest regard for his lovely designs.

I just showed him your Funky Carrot drawing and he said, “Well I love those carrots!” Appreciation goes both ways.

Knox's baseball field drawings are great because they represent the possibility of so many things. An artist's palette, a view from above, a shy ghost—all sorts!

Totally! It started as the path we hiked earlier that day then turned into a field once he added the bases. Maybe it would change again if he could add more to it.

Perhaps you've seen this before,but I feel the need to share this anytime a parent talks about being on 'vacation' with young kids, always makes me laugh. (From a parent currently on a short vacation, sans our young kids 😅).
