Just Christmas

7 hours playing Risk on Christmas day, and we couldn't even finish.
My niece Elaine and my sister Jenny caroling.

Me with the kids

and..me.

Merry Christmas

Christian and Sharon making pictures for me

Gingerbread cookies I made with the kids

At the Ritz Hotel in Madrid, so expensive you feel like an aristocrat.

There are videos of the kids mutilating the gingerbread man, and having gingerbreadmen fights and singing christmas songs. If only I could upload videos..

Tonight's the night the world begins again

Everyone's got their share of problems,
suffering,
everybody cries, wishes for something better.
For this Christ came to Earth

you ask me what I want this year, and I try to make this kind and clear;
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.

I wish everyone was loved tonight

And somehow stop this endless fight

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Love and smiles

Dusk

If you love something and it goes away
and you love something else and that something returns
can you still love it?
or can you still desire it because you never had it?

Blog post from Madrid

I've been awake for exactly 24 hours
I've traveled in 3 different planes
to 4 different airports
risked ALL of my art portfolio traveling as checked baggage
had a pretzel at Frankfurt
and as soon as I arrived to Madrid it started snowing!
:)
I'm home for Christmas!

The Shadow of the Wind

Illustration of a book I read.. a truly amazing book. "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruíz Zafón.
Captivating, intriguing, mesmerizing, and a book that, above all, makes you feel.
and this post is dedicated to Raph for introducing me to it.
