I knew his name meant "joyful" but I didn't know it also meant, "right-handed." Rather fitting as he is both. :)

I love you, Whimsy.

honey...hurry back...to this:

 Here's the going away photo I took for my Whimsy Guy, whose away this week. Heh.
Who wouldn't want to rush home to this?!
(Good God! Am I getting a waddle?!)

 Speaking of that Guy...here's a few lovely photos he took while we were at the coast in January. The one above is a partial reflection off our truck Pretty cool. 

family art!

Friends, checking out the three art piece that Kaemon Ze, my Whimsy Guy, and I are showing in a local art gallery (so exciting for us!).

The three artists!

(The orange painting is not ours).
The large painting behind me is my Whimsy Guy's; the small brown painting is Kaemon Ze's "Dinosaurs Fighting"; and mine is the horizontal blue piece.

Dragging his best friend around the gallery. :)

Lunch with our wonderful friends.

 Kaemon Ze and his Grandma. Love.

Watching Kaemon Ze's wish paper take flight.

I love the look of delight on their faces.

 Grandpa lights his wish paper.

 The special paper burns fast, and pretty...then, at the last moment, it takes flight!

Watching Daddy's wish paper float back down.

 

Will blowing it make it stay up longer? :)
