where did the year go?

It is February 2009 and I have not posted to the art blog since August 2008. Perhaps it it simply too much to update three blogs in concert with everything else going on...but for whatever reason I cannot let the idea flat line just yet. So, I am posting today some of the 2008 items in my folders and will try to post to the art blog monthly this year... the kids and Kyle and I are all trying new things with our sketchbooks and having a forum to post them helps me to review them through time and to share items that are a small glimpse into the creative spirit of our family.
