Family gathering at restaurant

Grace with Monica and Ryan, Stephen's kids.

 

Almost a complete family portrait--missing only my brother Michael and my mom.

 

At Stephen's House

To my surprise, Stephen and Rachel still have the pencil drawing I did for them for their wedding on the wall in their bedroom! I was only about fifteen or so at the time.

 

Two birthday girls.

 

Everyone seems to like that painting a lot. I dunno. It's nice, but not something I'd put on my wall. I usually have prints of 19th century victorian paintings on my wall--I was never a fan of traditional eastern styled paintings. I grew up with them and know how to do them, but they're just not my thing.
