Of Challenges and Achievements

I finally captured Matthew's sweet little smile on camera! Here he is, happy. And happier yet!He must have been feeling excited about being 7 weeks old!Cameron is our little artist in residence. Earlier this week, he brought home this masterpiece which he had created for his daddy. Side one is Daddy (represented by the large red circle, if it isn't obvious) "looking at Cameron" (the small red smiling circle).The other side is a moose (brown scribbles) with an apple (red circle). The piece is creatively signed with a C for Cameron and a backwards D for Daddy.Emboldened by the warm reception this work received, Cameron endeavored to extend his skills to watercolors. He felt the paper was too confining, however, and branched out to body art.

And, just a funny story to share. Cameron tried hot chocolate for the first time yesterday and thoughtfully declared it "challenging but tasty." While this may seem a strage remark, I think it accurately reflects the complexity of the beverage. You see, it wasn't just any hot chocolate. It was my prized European Drinking Chocolate. Challenging indeed!
