melt my heart



My little buddy William sat down to color at the kitchen counter. All of a sudden he realized that he could spell a word with the letters he knew. Carefully he wrote the word and then said, "Here Mom, this one is for you. It's got your name on it." It's the best gift I've gotten in a while.

That particular kind of gift is a real treat. I still love the "family" portraits we get from Alex.

Jeremy - You should frame one of those family portraits. My oldest is in third grade and at some point they stop drawing those cute innocent stick figures. I also framed one of Jordan's "self-portraits" about that same stage. Silly keepsakes are sometimes the best.

I actually considered that. My friend's mom framed a story he wrote in like 1st grade. It was hillarious. We always teased him about the brown "snak" slithering through the woods.

Ann, that is too precious. It is so fun seeing them grow and learn different things. Tommy just comes up with the most interesting things that I am surprised he knows.
