chris_drawingIt’s always the right time to sit down and draw. There is always a story to be told. Never hurry on a walk. These are things you tend to forget when getting older. Having a 5-year-old in the family puts you back on track again.
 
chris_babyThank you baby Lena for making me focus less on my bangs and more on loving you.
