One evening earlier this month, during that atrocious period of sub-freezing temperatures, Jim texted Megan to ask how she and the family were doing with the chilly weather that had assaulted even their location in the desert.

Her response was a photo of Brayden, Declan, and Preston warding off the cold in the backyard hot tub.

"I'm sitting in front of the fireplace," she added. (Yes, they do have fireplaces in the desert... fireplaces that apparently do get used!)

"Where's Cam?" Jim asked.

Turned out Cam was indoors, too. Not in front of the fireplace, though. He was In front of the mirror. Practicing his superhero pose.

"Look at my muscles, Mom," Megan said he told her. "I look like a super hero when I flex!"

Oh, Cam!

My goofy grandson is bound and determined to become a superhero of some sort. Considering his persistence in flexing — and dressing — like one, the soon-to-be-seven-year-old just might surprise us all some day.

Til then, he'll undoubtedly keep us chuckling... and exclaiming "Oh, Cam!" on a regular basis.
