Summer Fun Has Begun


Our friends Brett and Julie are moving back to Texas and for their going away party we had a crawfish broil. We weren't surprised at all when Daniel played with the live crawfish before cooking. But we were surprised at how much he enjoyed eating them once they were cooked. He ate a dozen crawfish throughout the night and spent a good five minutes trying to open his own. He hasn't sucked the heads out yet, but we'll work our way up to that.


Every summer Angie helps run summer camps for inner city kids and this year Daniel got to play, too. He loved running around with the big kids and he did a really good job of listening and paying attention. The picture shows Daniel listening to the counselors before running under a giant parachute.


A few weeks ago Daniel really got into painting. He asks to paint a picture almost every day. The paintings are quite impressionistic at this point. As you can tell from the picture he is in a bit of a "black period".
