This is shortened version of an earlier video of the day(s) Art was born (11/29/05). Something to get Jessica in the birthing mood…

During baby class, Art paints a mouse to hang in Mama’s room in the hospital.

Art at Josh and Ashley’s house Sunday. He ate well, played well, and slept for a long time with Tula and Ashley.

Cold Blueberries! Papa’s big hat!

Tasty delivery! Our neighbor Becca (and great cook and friend) just dropped off a big and extrememly tasty spinach lasagna. It arrived after art had already eaten dinner, but he insisted on having another dinner when he saw the lasagna. he ate loads.

It’s Wednesday and jessica was in the hospital after she had few small contractions. All is well now, though, as you can see in this photo she insisted I not take as she tried to hide her laugh.

My mom gave Art a Mr. Potato Head the other day and he's having fun with it.  "Arm on the head!" he says while he sticks a third arm where the hat would go.  As he was first meeting it he got it's name flipped around and called it, "Tato Mister".  Language assimiliation is so much fun!!!

Is this Art’s first New Year’s kiss? Evva and her parents came over for an early New Year’s Eve party. Party was over by seven for bedtime.

As you can see, Evva is very affectionate and loves to look after Art. He had spilled a little milk on his chin and she got down from her chair to find a napkin and clean him up. Already wooin’ the ladies and he’s only two!
