The artist at work

Rand L-O-V-E-S his watercolor set from Aunt Katie. So much, in fact, that we need to go buy some more as he's scraping the bottom on most of the colors. One of his favorite things to do is sit and paint and paint and paint.

This is actually how we spent New Year's morning -- Rand had found the paint set right before bedtime the night before, so I told him that we could paint in the morning. The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was, "Now we paint?" So at 7:30 A.M., there we were, painting. Happy New Year!
