Smart, cute, and so very loved!

My little monkey is just growing and learning right before my eyes. His new favorite activity is to write and draw, usually with a blue crayon because it's his favorite color and "blue is for boys." This evening we went out to eat, and he started writing away on his menu. Without any assistance whatsoever, he wrote his name. The interesting part was that he started with the "a" before adding the rest of the letters in their correct places. Yay, Dane!
Yesterday, as I buckled Nora into her car seat, Dane grabbed my sunglasses and modeled them for us.

Earlier this week, Mike had to spend a night out of town for business purposes. It was such a joyful reunion when he returned the next evening.
