How To Draw A Smiley Face

Jack has never shown a huge interest in coloring or drawing. I wish I could just have him sit at the kitchen table for more than 3 minutes and color with me, but he'd much rather be playing hockey, singing hi-ho, or running laps around our kitchen. Since it's been nice out, we have been able to color with chalk outside which has been a lot of fun. Just the other day when it was too cold to go out, I gave him a notepad and a pen and to my surprise he remembered how I drew a smiley face outside the other day (well, sort of...). It was pretty entertaining.



Oh and we'd like to make a few shout outs to some expanding families:
Tom's cousin Dan and his wife, Jenny, had a baby girl a little over a week ago. Baby Kendall Audrey Lorraine Starkey joins her older brother Tristan! We can't wait to meet her!

Tom's other cousin, Katie, and her husband, Paul, had their second baby boy less than a week ago. Baby Brendan Patrick Cowan joins his older brother Connor.

And Tom's good friend from the Air Force Academy, Jace and his wife, Ali, welcomed their first baby boy, Easton Douglas Anders this past weekend.

Can we say baby boom?
We are also adding to our family. No I'm not pregnant, ha ha. My brother gets to bring his service dog home with him tonight. The dog's name is Rio and Brendan has been in extensive training with this dog for a few weeks. He will continue the training even though the dog is living with him and will officially graduate from Helping Paws next Friday.

Happy Hump Day everyone. Enjoy the snow.....yea right.
