Barbar The Elephant

My wife visited her mother and father yesterday afternoon and took the kids with her. Marie came home with a "paint with water" book and so did Michael. The two of them were in great spirits (I was home cutting the lawn) when they returned, and Marie proceeded to want to paint a picture for me. That image, entitled "Queen Celeste Bathing in the Sun" is now hanging in my office. Queen Celeste is one of the characters from the Barbar series.

Time for Change

I have decided to change the focus of my writing efforts (or lack of) in this cyber world. I may still occasionally talk about my feelings and emotions, but I think my effort will be stronger and likely more frequent, if I write instead about my family and my beautiful children.

As a start, I would like to introduce the members of my family:

My wife, Maria, is the love of my life. She is an academic, like me, but fortunately for us, she works in a different department. She is the only person I can truly say cares for me and loves me, other than my children.

My daughter, Marie (In order to avoid confusion, I may have to somehow make a clearer designation between my wife's name and my daughter's). She is currently four years old and she is a tall, graceful, utterly beautiful little girl. What is most beautiful, however, is the bright twinkle I can see in her cute little grey-blue eyes and the wonderful, imaginative thoughts that she has about day-to-day things.

My son, Michael, is 21 months old at the moment. He is a bundle of energy and we call him a "monkey". He is adorable and very, very cute.

I think this is the start of a wonderful, new beginning.
