Art Attack

Thanks to Meme and Pepe's well chosen Crimbo gift today the Muffin adorned her favourite "Princess dress" grabbed her brushes and (easy clean) pigments and with a surge of creative expression and a deft hand knocked out her first abstract masterpiece in literally minutes!!!

Look at that movement that focus -genius!

I hope this is the shape of things to come, Olive feeding that creative impulse and perhaps down the line we have a little artist in the making -just like her daddy!

et Voila!
(Looks a bit like a Joan Mitchel!)

Happy Christmas 2011

After 9 months wait and 10 (long) days late! We got our selves a beautiful baby boy:

Baxter William Pilgrim

Born on Sat. Dec. 3rd at 2:29pm weighing in a sturdy 8.2lbs here he is just 2 days old and what an absolute joy he is to behold. As with the first time I am totally speechless, in awe and in love again -what a beautiful little chap he is!

Welcome to the world little fella!
