Art Work

I never understood the magic of children's artwork until the children became my own. I have always appreciated the talent, patience and creativity but never have I had a simple drawing take my breath away and well my eyes with tears. This picture did. Savannah will never know what a magical moment it was when she handed me a picture of me and her daddy on our wedding day.



These other two pieces have made me stop in my tracks with warm fuzzies from my head to my toes. The first is self portrait that Savannah drew for her sisters. "Just so that they remember what I look like and don't miss me when I am not with them." The second is portrait she drew of me. She loves to draw me over and over again. It is magical to be loved by someone so much that they want to create you on paper over and over again. I guess I should also mention that I think she is pretty darn talented to. You should see the book (chapter book she would tell you) she is writing and illustrating about protecting our environment. She amazes me each and ever day!
