"kims nails"

These are technically erikas nails... but kim painted them.  I especially like the thumbs, where she painted comic book expressions. my little sister kim is tallented at many things... science, math, volleyball, cupcakes, and nails. so many opportunities for her in life.

happiness

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.  The way it actually works is the reverse.  You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.  ~Margaret Young

erika chasing the seagulls.

erika was chasing seagulls and n.c. was working on action shots. i like the boardwalk in the background. reminds me of childhood, all the long days and hot nights spent sleeping on the screened in porch on the front of the bungalow... listening to drunk people stumble home, and cars screech around the one-way street.  They're selling the bungalows now, and erika is looking so grown up isnt she?
