January is always a busy month around here, capped on the 26th with my twins' birthday. Happy Birthday, Jack and Lily!

They are NINE this year. And I know it's just an arbitrary number, but it is making me particularly sad this year.

Why, you might ask? Well, back in 2005 when I started writing picture books and sold my first one, they were four years old. Prime picture-book age! Technically, you know, picture books are for children aged 4-8. Give or take.

And today I officially no longer have picture-book aged children! Oh, so sad. We still share picture books around here, but I know those days are numbered now

I'll always read picture books because I love them, I'll read them because I write them, I'll read them for research, but it just won't be the same, will it?

(sigh)
