Lucero drew this picture tonight. Lucero is only 5 years old. I know that parents are biased, but man...check out the perspective (abstracting away from the yogic arm reach). It brings to mind "Christina's World" by Andrew Wyeth... if Tim Burton were to interpret it in his youth. The girl is wearing mittens because it's cold, Lucero informed her father. Perhaps I'm projecting too much expectation, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lucero grew up to be a professional artist. Her father is gifted (he will probably come behind and edit this out of foolish modesty), and I think he is a leading artist in an parallel universe. Now, if only I can lead her towards the more lucrative artistic professions, like graphic design. Art is food for the soul and all that jazz, but a girl's gotta feed her body as well.
Also, post to come regarding the wedding... Just waiting on the pictures from the photographer so I can dazzle my readers (all 3 of you) with how pretty we all looked!
Sincerely yours,
Jessica Bridget White Sustaíta!

i missed you! but now i feel all the more justified in making a trip across the ocean!
i remember babysitting lucero one night, back on town lake, and she must have been only older 3 or younger 4.... and she took a book, drew like a mad woman for 20 mins, then showed her "laptop"... the notebook was open, and on the left side of the spiral she had drawn a large black rectangle with letters and numbers... on the right side, little square keys with numbers and letters as well. she held the book sideways in her lap and held up the "screen" it was astonishing.... she had her idea, thought of a composition and reworking of her tools... and rushed to get it out successfully! i can't even do that!
