Our Hands

These hands of ours are busy everyday doing activities that we enjoy.  Jerrica constantly has a book in hand that she is reading to her dolls or siblings.

Nathan just received his Life badge.  He has a slew of merit badges.  All he needs is a few more camp outs and his Eagle project.  I’m so glad that he has a fire under him right now to get it all done.

Ashley is always writing a story or drawing a masterpiece.  Her hands constantly have a pencil wedged in them!

Stephen is always tapping away on his computer trying to earn money to support all of us.  We sure appreciate how hard he works!

 

Ipods and phones are always being used to play games and communicate with friends.

 

Jacob is swimming for high school.  They practice EIGHT times a week!  He was jumping out of the van for a practice and I told him I wanted a picture of his goggles.  “Mom, you can find a picture of goggles online”  I replied that I sure could, BUT they wouldn’t have HIS hand in the picture!  :)

 

I don’t mention the piano as much as I should.  It is a BIG part of our days around here.  From Jacob all the way down to Ashley, they all play.  They each practice 30 minutes every day.   It is expected of them and they know they can’t do other things if they don’t.  The piano is always going and they are getting to be quite the pianists.  I love listening to their songs.

 

That’s a glimpse of our hands.  We are busy and we are grateful to be busy!
