Portrait of an Artist and a Young Man

Samwise is proudly displaying his award-winning picture and his award for placing first in a local restaurant's Back-to-School coloring contest. (that's an unnecessarily convoluted sentence, but, eh...) That backpack is chock full o' school supplies (yay!)

He was so excited when we got the phone call today--and rightly so--he literally shook with excitement as he told the news to his Grammy and Mom on the phone. :)

Way to go, pal.
