Our Son

Our son is very creative and loves to draw and paint. Here are some of his drawings that I have hanging up around the house. The yellow one is our family at Christmas (you'll see Me and Rob and the kids with the tree and gifts under it), the one on the magna-doodle is his birthday (him holding balloons with a party hat on..) and the one of the faces is supposed to be me (Mommy-with the spiked hair :) and Rob's Mom Nancy is on the top ("Mimi" as the kids call her. And he always draws her with a rainbow for her hair - there's gotta be something to that... but we haven't figured out what exactly!)

He is also a little too into organization! The pretzils were his snack and I found them like this, and the cars are parked perfectly. He always separates out his pasta into color piles when I serve garden rotini (green, ivory, and orange spirals) and he can't have anything new in his room when it's bed time - nothing that does belong - in his eyes. It drives me a bit crazy but I am trying to appreciate who God made him to be and realize that he'd be great in certain detail-oriented jobs when he grows up.
