dylan
eating McDonald’s hot mustard. i know… i’m embarrassed, but the kids occasionally get McDonald’s.
i was more surprised that he liked the mustard. he actually seems to enjoy spicy things.
faces
i ask owen to show me his faces, sad, silly, happy, disappointed, angry and serious. the above is my favorite and was the first picture i took which inspired me to ask him to show me his faces.
