The Little Things

After seeing this commercial (and shedding a few tears), it made me think of a little thing my dad and I have shared between us over the years--the exchanging of turkey pictures.  I'm not sure if either of us remembers why or which one of us even started it, but at random times throughout our lives we've left a picture of a turkey in various places for the other one to find, often with no written message--it was just our silly way of putting a smile on each other's face.  Turkey's would show up on one another's bathroom mirrors, on steering wheels, in cards, in books, etc. I packed the pictures up and took them with me when I moved away to college and I remember slipping one into my dad's pocket as I walked down the aisle on my wedding day.  I kept every turkey picture that he ever gave me and I suspect that he might still have some saved up in his top dresser drawer too. :) Yes, it's the little things in life that can mean so much.

 

Remodeling

Dear David Weekley Homes,

Have you ever considered installing a window in the wall between children's bedrooms?  So that our kids don't take this renovation project upon themselves again, for our next home we might be interested if you offered this as an upgrade option. 

Sincerely,

A Mom with a Damaged Wall

 



Charlie

This is Charlie.  He was originally given to John Caden as a Christmas present several years ago, but knowing how cute I think Charlie is, John Caden loves to share him with me.  Charlie often pops in at the breakfast table to give me a morning kiss, he sits with me in the evenings during our family "couch story" time, and my favorite--I often find that he's been left on my bed for me at nighttime.

Extra Credit

The directions on this page of John Caden's schoolwork were simply:

 "Draw a line to divide each word into syllables."

 Can you imagine how my heart melted when I came across this??!!

Extra credit for sure in my books!
