"Behold the world fresh - as it is, on its own terms - through the eyes of a beginner. To know that you do not know and to be willing to admit that you do not know without sheepishly apologizing is real strength and sets the stage for learning and progress in any endeavor."

The Boy Does Stop-Motion

Happy Monday!

We had a lovely, peaceful, mostly tech-free, tenting-in-the-wild-woods-of-Northern-Ontario holiday. But it sure is good to be back here at home and sleeping in an actual real-life bed. How are you? Well, I hope.

Today I've uploaded a small stop-motion animation project we all worked on together as a family. It is very short, and dare I say it, quite experimental, springing mostly from the mind of our sweet 7 year-old boy. I often wonder what goes on inside that little brain of his... Here now, for your viewing pleasure, is a little taste!
