A lot going on here lately. Mom's spending as much time as she can doing illustrations for her book. That's me in the picture. I'm helping. She's frustrated things are going so slowly. She'd hoped to have all 27 illustrations done by now, but is still working on the first seven. It seems to me if she'd stop driving Piper to school and work, stop running errands, stop doing laundry, stop talking to her children on the phone, doing work on the computer, and stop cooking meals then she'd have a lot more time for this project. I still think worms and crickets are the way to go. Always know what you're going to have, always available and noooooo prep time. She even had company over today. I wanted to tell him to go away, but Mom let him in and she's been smiling ever since. Still, she's getting so frustrated, I'm beginning to worry. I've seen "THAT" look flash in her eyes lately, you know, the "is this even worth it" look. She's really good at what she does and I don't want her to give up on this. I'd like to see her do more! She's very funny to watch. She has serious faces and happy faces, sometimes a grimace, sometimes determination, but my favorites faces are the happy ones, the smiles. Sometimes she even laughs out loud. She says she can't wait to start painting pictures of me. Says she wants to turn me into a character for children's books. Slow down Mom, let's get you through this one first!!
Oh, and apparently there's a new person in the family. Will and his wife had their new little baby a few days ago - again, MORE time on the phone! And she's going to be gone for ten days! Says she has to go and inspect the new baby. Mom says they forgot to give the baby hair, she wants to make sure everything else is there and where it belongs. Hair's not that big a deal, I don't have any and I'm beautiful!!
