This is our family crest. Mommy, Daddy, Miriam, and Angel Noah. I drew this by accident one day. Just a bunch of hearts on a piece of paper were personified into our little family through mindless, meditative coloring.

I use a different color to fill in the black outlines every time I draw this. Sometimes I’m pink. Sometimes Hal is yellow. Sometimes Miriam is blue. And sometimes Noah is red. No rhyme or reason…just whatever crayon I pick up first. Broken or pristine. They are all rich in pigment and emotion. Imperfect lines that scream quietly, “IT’S US!!!!!!!!!!”

I’m so excited to announce that I’m teaming up with The Crayola Experience in Easton Pennsylvania for some stories with special offers for my readers. We’ll be visiting this weekend for the very first time and I’m not afraid to embarrass myself. In fact, you can count on it.

If you want to join us there and see me embarrass myself first hand, here’s a link to discounted tickets! Laughing at me is no extra charge!
