Balls and Beaches

Since Damon's first word was "ball", we figured a set of his own Nerf balls would be a great gift. I, however, and forgotten how my brother had munched holes in his own Nerf balls as a kid. The football ends lasted all of 10 minutes, if that, before Damon had chomped them off. =/



Dada's biggest surprise was the painting Care Bear created at her December Girl Scouts meeting. She'd done a Hawaiian beach scene, and we hid it in the garage up high so that Dada wouldn't accidentally find it before Christmas. He was thrilled! She's quite a talented artist, and she was delighted to give him a meaningful gift. It's already up on our wall, which is saying something because there's been an ever-growing stack of framed photos in our hallway just waiting to be hung!

Okay, I nearly lost it with the nerf football story/pix. Too funny! :D

And I can tell you, with the authority of an art school degree, you've got a talented artist in the house! It's got to be nice to have a Van Gogh in residence. :)
