Spring Time Doodles

After several hours of sketching, re-sketching, editing and final touches I feel like I know these families, and would love to be a fly on the wall in their home and see if I captured their personalities.  So without further ado I'd like to introduce you to these marvelous families.   The Martin family loves the
