I love my kids.

So the kids have made it through another stressful semester of mom being in college. She moved from exams straight into the busy Prom Season. (She's a floral designer at the amazing Indigo Floral downtown Holland) This past Friday, Dana dropped them at the 36SQ Studio for our Open House. That was a great time, and I really liked the kids meeting some of the business people in my life.

The best part though, was Saturday morning. We were watching cartoons and they both thanked me for "letting them" hang out at my party.

I am so entirely relieved that they are so positive in their demeanor. From where I was standing, they were shuffled into the mix of a busy day. But they were just glad to have fun and be there. Man, I'm a lucky guy.

is kindly thanking all who attended our event. It was exactly the celebration we all needed on this beautiful day.

36SQ / 451 Columbia Ave / 5-7 pm / Eat, Drink and be Artsy / personal artwork by 36SQ team. All are welcome. Esp. people we haven't met.
