Inspired by my friend Rebecca‘s blog post…
“We love the things we love for what they are.” ~Robert Frost
Saucy shrimp at Bonefish Grill. Mmmmmmm… now I’m craving it… again.
What happens when my 16 year old has a bedroom under construction, and I buy her a pack of Sharpies.
My little left-handed cutie who gets excited when he can draw on his big sister’s wall.
My All-Stars. I want lots of colors.
Funny teenagers who entertain me on a daily basis.
A father/son relationship filled with so many similarities and great mutual respect.
A creative 16 year old who thinks outside every box.
A squishy one year old to love and cuddle.
These three silly-heads.
Watching my children play.
Funky paintings by the aforementioned artist I live with.
The love we share.
My wonderfully awesome family.
And so much more…

Thanks for sharing the photos of your beautiful, creative kids. My how they grow!
-
Love all the pics! The kids are so cute. I’m sure the kids love being able to draw on the walls, my kids would love that!
-
Love all the pics and I am sad for you about your iphone. Is it functioning yet or have you left it alone for now?
-
Ummm, wow. Once again, I am offended. NO mention of one of your favorite people ever. I mean, I know you love your family…and it is very wise for you to gush over these people you live with, so that your life will be nice. Wouldn’t be helpful to bash those people who have to deal with you all the time. Now, where is a post devoted to the one who has been there from day one (literally—I believe I remember toddling down the hallway, and peeking at you in the nursery window).
Needless to say, God has given you a fabulous family, for which I prayed without ceasing, btw. Yeah, so umm….where’s the love? -
lol Kendra – you know you are my hero! We need to get together SOON!!!!!
Steph – no phone yet. Still letting the screen dry out (yeah, I’m probably out of luck).

Cute pics!!!
Brittany is an amazing artist… wow!! Cool stuff!!
And I love that fam picture!!! You make me want to have 6 kids too!!! But I’m not sure Titus would be up for 6… he’s ok with 3… but you make it look so easy!!
How is the homeschooling going??? Has it started yet?? Or is it an ongoing thing… ????

And by the way… have I mentioned that I LOVE your comment section… no passwords or funny word thing to type in… just type your comment and go. Makes life so much easier!!! So, thanks!!!

Great pictures! The boys liked drawing on our walls before the paint
. I used to but packs of poster board for Nathaniel to draw on, he loved it! -
Jackie – I love having six kids!! I’d say the biggest transition is going from 2 kids to 3 though, so if you have 3, you may as well have 6!
Plus, once you get a certain #, the older kids start helping with the younger, etc. We aren’t really starting school until September… waiting on a check so we can order all the curriculum stuff. Just still enjoying our summer for now.

Wow. Brittany is quite the artist! No wonders she sounded so excited about those new brand colored sharpies on facebook. lol.
I love how you let the pictures tell the story and only caption a sentence to explain the pictures. I’d say Brittany got the creativiness from you because you’re very creative with blogs.

I just remembered something else: Dr. Seuss’s mother let him draw pictures on the walls and guess what he grew up to be? A popluar artist/writer for children’s books.
