Dad – A portrait on whiteboard
Definitely Ethan’s best work to date, he has really captured the nuances of Dave, the curly hair, the I love E t shirt, the goofy stance. Amaze!

Monday’s Pics of Sunday
Another sunny, winter Sunday. This has {so far} been one of the best winters I can remember, not too much rain and loads of glorious sunny, blue sky days. Mum bought Ethan 2 massive shipping containers on Trade Me last week, so the boys project …
