A Parenting Milestone...

Christmas of 2008 will forever hold a special place in my heart for this scene seen here. It makes me realize that through all of the tribulation, trials, effort, ups, downs, etc., my sweet children, if but for a small moment, understand where importance lies.

An Artistic Genius

I don't know why I've never thought of it before, but why should we only color the outside of eggs, when the inside is just brimming with opportunities for artistic expression, as well!
