My daughter is 1 month, 14-ish days old today, and we are out to a ball game. There was a Cincinnati Reds Player Parade. There was playing in the park. There were tons of things to marvel at during lunch, like silvery overhead pipes. Now we are napping during the four inning. Love her, Joey, and @emilyat27 so much. #nappingAndBaseball #fancyHat (at Great American Ball Park)

Joey requested a reversible Chica from Five Nights At Freddy’s: normal and nightmare versions of the character. He knows so much about the video game series from watching YouTube videos, but . . . is still too scared to play any of them by himself. They frighten me too, but don’t tell him that. #paperCraft #fiveNightsAtFreddys #chica #cupcake #theThingsWeDoForLove (at West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio)

My first UC Bearcats experience was surprising awesome. Not really being a sports person, there were plenty of interesting things happening around the stadium. Also, for starters, the NFL could be greatly improved by adding marching bands. #collegeFootball #bearcats #ideasAboutFootball (at University of Cincinnati-UC Bearcat Football)

Musing about our batting intro music choices over gluten-free hotdogs is the best way to spend an afternoon. Happy Birthday Week, @emilyat27! #bigRedBat #funInTheSun #questionableKissCam #zoomFromTheMoon #soThisIsLove (at Great American Ball Park)

“Sharing” a Bloody Mary in a hive of slumbering bees, more or less. Gluten-Free, everything. Well, mostly everything. #muffins #bloodyMary #sleepyBee #closingThisPlace #soThisIsLove (at Sleepy Bee - Blue Ash)

“Sleep was the real problem with my immortality. Once eliminated, there was nothing that truly forced a delay. I don’t stop for anything or anyone now. 312 years of unencumbered activity and curiosity. Centuries . . . of unrelenting conquest.” Character ideation for a mobile, space themed video game. #stayTuned #characterDesign #drawing #illustration #stetching (at Green Township)

“Our demands are fair and simple. Well, fair and simple enough.” Character ideation for a mobile, space themed video game. #stayTuned #characterDesign #drawing #illustration #stetching

A portion of the stop motion video I quickly made for Joey’s amusement this afternoon. Spoiler Alert: everyone has that map. #treasureMaps #stopMotion #legos #starWars (at Green Township)

“Amid Nintendo’s flurry of fall news … Came the introduction of a long-awaited and much rumored new character named Linkle.” #nintendo #theLegendOfZelda #alternateUniverse #damselKickingAss #drawing #illustration #sketching #linkle

“Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above. Don’t fence me in.” #troubleSleeping #coffeeOnCall #fallingStars #missingYou #illustration #drawing #sketching (at Green Township)

“Most thought it was a silly tradition. Ghosts? Kept at bay by a jack o'lantern? Fun, entertaining Halloween nonsense . . . that dated back over 150 years. I will never forget the year my name was picked in the delivery lottery.” #happyHalloween #foxHoddie #trickOrTreat #stetching #drawing #illustration (at Green Township)

“Alexa actually lives in the sky, and tells the most amazing stories about some far off paradise called Earth. She is lonely, like us, so you can be her friend too.” #echoingEcho #alexa #amazonEcho #sketching #drawing #illustration
