Wow, it’s been a terrific WINTER BREAK!!! It’s been so so so nice to just spend time together at home. Our Christmas presents were “hers and hers MIXERS!!!” M has been wanting to dive into baking crazy things and I’ve been hard at work—really for the past 20 years—building a studio and a real mixer was an awesome addition!!!

We spent the break working away on all sorts of prototyping experiments with podcasting, graphics, animation, puppets, audio and any kind of media we could pin down. M is learning audio editing and we just chilled around here and worked on making this crazy prototype. I’m so proud of us for pulling it through by the end:

**We used a whole slew of Adobe products to wrangle this crazy thing together: Audition, Rush, Premiere Pro, Character Animator, Illustrator and of course, my favorite, After Effects.
