This past holiday weekend, while playing with my daughter Kirsten, I had an idea for a cute little story. Kirsten and I found a play room at my sister’s “church” with a little play house. She went right in and we pretended that I came by for a visit. Well, she being 2 years old, fit just fine. Dad however was a little more cramped. So, we played and pretended all the funny things about a really big person in a really tiny house, and I thought… that would make a fun story.

The next morning, I woke up with a more complete version in my head, along with images of what it should look like. And thus was born the story of Eunice and The Very Large Aardvark. Speaking of publishing books, I do have 5 or 6 children’s books I’d like to publish someday. We’ll see how that goes. 🙂 I’m still trying to get my Mom (who is a very fine artist) to illustrate them for me. 🙂

One of the best parts so far was reading that story for Kirsten the night I wrote it. It was her first time hearing it. I put this picture of Eunice on the first page that I printed out. And as I was reading about her, she just smiled and laughed… finally pointed to her and said, “Faaat!!” And then just laughed! 🙂 That was funny. 🙂

So, blog readers… meet Eunice. (Named after Jen’s grandma… who was definitely not fat.) 🙂
