Well its been way too long since my last post. Sorry about that. Things have been going really great lately for the Laurent's. I'm sure most of you have been reading Maya's blog so explanation from me really isn't needed on family things. Other than that things with work have been going really good. I just recently finished a illustration for work that was 120 feet wide by 8 feet tall. It is a graphic element used to promote a development in South Bend, Indiana. It's right across the street from the stadium up at Notre Dame. I'm really proud of it and I will be posting images of it soon. Other than that we have been cranking on alot of cool stuff and I am starting to feel very comfortable at work.
Thanks to Maya I have entered the world of iGoogle. It is very addicting. For those of you who didn't read Maya's blog about this it basically is a place where you can store all of the blogs that you read on a daily basis all in one place. Very cool.
Well to make a long story short I ran into a entry from one of them talking about toys and the amount of them we buy for our kids and the kids around us. Now don't take this the wrong way because I love toys and I will always be a kid at heart. But dang this article is so right. My house is filling up with toys. Why are we sitting our kids in front of stuff rather than taking them to the park and pushing them on the swing or watching them go down the slide. Or better yet why don't we take that money that we would spend on the toy that might be interesting for a month or so and put it towards his/her college fund. I think they would thank us later if they realize they don't have school loans to pay off after college.
I'm not really sure what I am trying to say but I know that Maya and I talk about it all the time. We would rather Zane have experiences in life rather than stuff. So I am already apologizing to you now buddy. You might not have the coolest stuff but you will have experiences that hopefully you won't forget. And I almost forgot, you will always have pencil and paper to be creative with.
Here's to imagination.
Cheers.
