imagination

i have been watching our grandchildren lately and marveling at how they are each so unique from each other. not only in their physical characteristics, but also in their imagination.

rylee's imagination manifested itself in being a 'mommy', she was always cooking in her kitchen and playing with her dolls, or her little sisters! she has always been really artistic as well. she is a sweetie.

sadie is three, and she does art shows. she lines up papers all along the floor (doesn't matter if they are hers or rylee's), then she sets chairs out so that all the people can come and see her art show. she is adorable.

james has a huge stuffed dog that is in a sitting position, probably about 3 feet high. he rides it around like a horse, all over the place, with his cow-boy-hat on! he is precious.

lucas is our star. he shines like crazy! put on 'singing in the rain', 'make em laugh' or 'chim, chim cheree' from mary poppins and not only is he dancing away just like they do but he is mimicking the facial expressions, and the stances as well. he is priceless.

i love seeing their imaginations unfold, just as i watched their mommy and daddy's unfold. sam was our artist, still is. craig was our builder, still is.hence, a career in IT. amy was our musical and animal girl, still is. i guess amy was our dreamer and our collector. rach was our motherer (and a little bossy) and reader - still is (not so much on the bossy part)! i love that watching them with their imagination gives us hints into their futures.

i am grateful for imaginations - what a great gift from our Father.
