Bustin' Out

We went to the Murphy Building in Fountain Square to see the Bustin' Out art show at the Big Car Gallery. The show was a fund raiser and silent auction to raise money for the Young Survivor Coalition. The auction will continue on next weekend at the Naptown Roller Girls Saturday night bout. The artwork was plaster casts of the roller girls chest's decorated by local artists. George and Owen's music teacher at school is a Naptown Roller and asked me to design two.

Homage to Larry Fitzgerald and Andy Goldsworthy

The night before the Super Bowl we watched the documentary Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides. This along with Arizona Cardinal Larry Fitzgerald inspired Owen. I love the face mask made of sticks. Learn more about the artist Andy Goldworthy:

Super Bowl--We're up, we're down, we're up again, then . . .

We all kind of looked like this from start to finish.

When this happened, we got real happy. Rick got so happy he took pictures of Fitz on the TV. Run, Larry, run.





Unfortunately, the amazing run of peaks and valleys ended in the valley. No tears, but lots of long faces. What a game. We're so happy Papa gets to work for a Super Bowl team. Let's win this thing next year. Go Cardinals.

Everyone loves cake!


Mmmm, pineapple upside down cake. That's where it's at. Our favorite go-to cake for all seasons and occasions. George had his sights set on making his key lime pie, the Super Bowl calls for super cake. We forgot the pecans, but no one seemed to mind.

THE Ohio State Buckeyes

Well the buckeye's had a great season despite the departure of Oden and Conley. They really improved through the season. Owen, of course, never saw shot he didn't like. It is so much fun to watch these guys.


..and a special thanks to Bop for keeping an honest clock. Thanks to him I never had to do it.
